Famous quotes containing the words beach and/or road:
“Your last words as you led the charge up the beach were, “Okay, men, let’s show ‘em whose beach this is!””

“But, where the road runs near the stream,
Oft through the trees they catch a glance
Of passing troops in the sun’s beam—
Pennon, and plume, and flashing lance!
Forth to the world those soldiers fare,
To life, to cities, and to war!”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
