Battle Base

Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or base:

“Much have I seen and known—cities of men
And manners, climates, councils, governments,
Myself not least, but honored of them all—
And drunk delight of battle with my peers,
Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
I am a part of all that I have met;”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“Do not gain basely; base gain is equal to ruin.”
