Famous quotes containing the words navy and/or veteran:

    I call to mind the navy great
    That the Greeks brought to Troye town,
    And how the boistous winds did beat
    Their ships, and rent their sails adown;
    Till Agamemnon’s daughter’s blood
    Appeased the gods that them withstood.
    Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)

    Science is, I believe, nothing but trained and organized common sense, differing from the latter only as a veteran may
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
