Famous quotes containing the words pretty, soldier and/or sailor:
“We too had many pretty toys when young;
A law indifferent to blame or praise,
To bribe or threat; habits that made old wrong
Melt down, as it were wax in the suns rays;
Public opinion ripening for so long
We thought it would outlive all future days.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“Will you vouchsafe to teach a soldier terms
Such as will enter at a ladys ear
And plead his love-suit to her gentle heart?”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Captain Bligh: Mr. Byam, youre up late.
Byam: Its very warm below, sir.
Captain Bligh: I hadnt noticed it. A true sailor can sleep in an oven, if need be, or in a keg of ice.”
—Talbot Jennings (18961985)
