Guard

Famous quotes containing the word guard:

    Lord Angelo is precise,
    Stands at a guard with envy, scarce confesses
    That his blood flows, or that his appetite
    Is more to bread than stone. Hence shall we see
    If power change purpose, what our seemers be.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Those that I fight I do not hate,
    Those that I guard I do not love;
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Ye Mariners of England
    That guard our native seas!
    Whose flag has braved a thousand years
    The battle and the breeze!
    Thomas Campbell (1774–1844)
