USS Philip Dd-498/borneo Campaign April - July 1945

Famous quotes containing the words campaign, july and/or april:

    The fact that a man is to vote forces him to think. You may preach to a congregation by the year and not affect its thought because it is not called upon for definite action. But throw your subject into a campaign and it becomes a challenge.
    John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)

    I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.
    Gabriel Péri, French Communist leader. Letter, July 1942, written shortly before his execution by the Germans. Quoted in New York Times (April 11, 1943)

    An April Sunday brings the snow
    Making the blossom on the plum trees green,
    Not white. An hour or two, and it will go.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
