Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or pass:
“The easiest period in a crisis situation is actually the battle itself. The most difficult is the period of indecision—whether to fight or run away. And the most dangerous period is the aftermath. It is then, with all his resources spent and his guard down, that an individual must watch out for dulled reactions and faulty judgment.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
“And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
‘You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me!’”
—Andrew Barton Peterson (1864–1941)
