Famous quotes containing the words post and/or war:
“I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage, with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post which any human power can give.”

In the ranks of death you’ll find him,
His father’s sword he has girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him.”
