Famous quotes containing the words drop and/or troops:
“Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children. I saw our boys running after the music in many a group of clean, bright-looking, excited little fellows.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
