Famous quotes containing the words campaigns, french and/or wars:

“That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.”
—Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)

“‘’Tis all dependin’ whether
The ould engin’ howlds together—’
‘And it might now, Michael, so it might!’”
—William Percy French (1854–1920)

“The soger frae the wars returns,
The sailor frae the main,
But I hae parted frae my Love,
Never to meet again, my dear,
Never to meet again.”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
