Famous quotes containing the word sheridan:
“So here they are, the dog-faced soldiers, the regulars, the fifty-cents-a-day professionals riding the outposts of the nation, from Fort Reno to Fort Apache, from Sheridan to Stark. They were all the same. Men in dirty-shirt blue and only a cold page in the history books to mark their passing. But wherever they rode and whatever they fought for, that place became the United States.”
—Frank S. Nugent (19081965)
“My beautiful, my beautiful! That standest meekly by,
With thy proudly-arched and glossy neck, and dark and fiery eye!”
—Caroline Sheridan Norton (18081877)
“For if there is anything to ones praise, it is foolish vanity to be gratified at it, and if it is abusewhy one is always sure to hear of it from one damned good-natured friend or another!”
—Richard Brinsley Sheridan (17511816)
