Wear Navy

Famous quotes containing the words wear and/or navy:

“For something is amiss or out of place
When mice with wings can wear a human face.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

“People run away from the name subsidy. It is a subsidy. I am not afraid to call it so. It is paid for the purpose of giving a merchant marine to the whole country so that the trade of the whole country will be benefitted thereby, and the men running the ships will of course make a reasonable profit.... Unless we have a merchant marine, our navy if called upon for offensive or defensive work is going to be most defective.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
