Rode

Famous quotes containing the word rode:

“We had an inspection today of the brigade. The Twenty-third was pronounced the crack regiment in appearance, ... [but] I could see only six to ten in a company of the old men.

—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“Bonnie George Campbell rode out on a day.
He saddled, he bridled, and gallant rode he,
And hame cam his guid horse, but never cam he.”
—Unknown. Bonnie George Campbell (l. 2–4)

“Lord Ronald said nothing; he flung himself from the room, flung himself upon his horse and rode madly off in all directions.”
—Stephen Leacock (1869–1944)
