Famous quotes containing the words champions, league and/or era:
“Did all the lets and bars appear
To every just or larger end,
Whence should come the trust and cheer?

Age finds place in the rear.
All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
The champions and enthusiasts of the state:”

Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Forward the Light Brigade!”
