Permanent Service Soldiers

Famous quotes containing the words permanent, service and/or soldiers:

    “There is no permanent class of hired laborers amongst us. Twenty five years ago, I was a hired laborer.

    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “Finally, your lengthy service ended,
    Lay your weariness beneath my laurel tree.”
    —Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8)

    “Better to die, or not to have been born,
    than hear that plaining, piteous convict wail
    about these beautiful dark eyebrowed women.
    It’s soldiers who sing these days. O Lord God.”
    —Marina Tsvetaeva (1892–1941)
