Fire Giant King

Famous quotes containing the words fire, giant and/or king:

    And where two raging fires meet together;
    They do consume the thing that feeds their fury.
    Though little fire grows great with little wind,
    Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having a conscience of what must be and what may be; whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long- wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy as dark as a buried Babylon.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    How the imagination is piqued by anecdotes of some great man passing incognito, as a king in gray clothes.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
