Die Roll

Famous quotes containing the words die and/or roll:

    Pale primroses,

    Bright Phoebus in his strength.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There was somewhat military in his nature, not to be subdued, always manly and able, but rarely tender, as if he did not feel himself except in opposition. He wanted a fallacy to expose, a blunder to pillory, I may say required a little sense of victory, a roll of the drum, to call his powers into full exercise.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
