Famous quotes containing the words general and/or strikes:
“Any general statement is like a cheque drawn on a bank. Its value depends on what is there to meet it.”

“Nothing is so beautiful as spring—
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
The ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
