Famous quotes containing the words veterans, foreign and/or wars:
“My gentleman gives the law where he is; he will outpray saints in chapel, outgeneral veterans in the field, and outshine all courtesy in the hall. He is good company for pirates, and good with academicians; so that it is useless to fortify yourself against him; he has the private entrance to all minds, and I could as easily exclude myself, as him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Don’t use that foreign word “ideals.” We have that excellent native word “lies.””
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“You fade—as if the last of days
Were fading and all wars were done.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
