Famous quotes containing the words veteran and/or soldiers:
“Science is, I believe, nothing but trained and organized common sense, differing from the latter only as a veteran may”

“The soldier here, as everywhere in Canada, appeared to be put forward, and by his best foot. They were in the proportion of the soldiers to the laborers in an African ant-hill.... On every prominent ledge you could see England’s hands holding the Canadas, and I judged from the redness of her knuckles that she would soon have to let go.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
