Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or army:

    You beat your pate, and fancy wit will come:
    Knock as you please, there’s nobody at home.
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    Olivia Dandridge: You don’t have to say it, Captain. I know all this is because of me. Because I wanted to see the West. Because I wasn’t, I wasn’t army enough to stay the winter.
    Capt. Brittles: You’re not quite army yet miss, or you’d know never to apologize. It’s a sign of weakness.
    Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
