Famous quotes containing the words fleet, air, arm and/or squadrons:

    “A city on th’ inconstant billows dancing;
    For so appears this fleet majestical.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “... in this air of withering sweetness ...”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The point is that nationalism, even in its latest madhouse frenzies under Mussolini and Hitler, is still, like advertising, an arm of big business. Nations as we know them today, were the invention of business and it is natural that business should still consider itself slightly above patriotism and that the strongest international should still be the international of profits.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “As you know, God is generally on the side of the big squadrons against the small ones.”
    —Roger De Bussy-Rabutin (1618–1693)
