Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or service:

    “If I were an American, as I am an Englishman, while a foreign troop was landed in my country, I never would lay down my arms—never—never—never!”
    —William Pitt, The Elder, Lord Chatham (1708–1778)

    “I can counterfeit the deep tragedian,
    Speak, and look back, and pry on every side,
    Tremble and start at wagging of a straw,
    Intending deep suspicion. Ghastly looks
    Are at my service like enforced smiles,
    And both are ready in their offices
    At any time to grace my stratagems.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
