Famous quotes containing the words led and/or troops:
“There is probably not one person, however great his virtue, who cannot be led by the complexities of lifes circumstances to a familiarity with the vices he condemns the most vehementlywithout his completely recognizing this vice which, disguised as certain events, touches him and wounds him: strange words, an inexplicable attitude, on a given night, of the person whom he otherwise has so many reasons to love.”
—Marcel Proust (18711922)
“But, where the road runs near the stream,
Oft through the trees they catch a glance
Of passing troops in the suns beam
Pennon, and plume, and flashing lance!
Forth to the world those soldiers fare,
To life, to cities, and to war!”
—Matthew Arnold (18221888)
