Famous quotes containing the words army and/or plant:
“Roach, foulest of creatures,
who attacks with yellow teeth
and an army of cousins big as shoes ...”

“It is not growing like a tree
In bulk, doth make man better be,
Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May
Although it fall and die that night;
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportions we just beauties see,
And in short measures life may perfect be.”
—Ben Jonson (15721637)
