Head Wounds Sustained

Famous quotes containing the words head, wounds and/or sustained:

    I feared
    The belly-cold, the grave-clout, that betrayed
    Me dithering in the drift of cordial seas;
    Ten years are time enough to be dismayed
    By mummy Christ, head crammed between his knees.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The lion dying thrusteth forth his paw
    And wounds the earth, if nothing else, with rage
    To be o’erpowered.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Trusting as we did to the virtue of the people, the real people, not the politicians and demagogues, we passed through the most responsible and trying scenes, sustained by the bone and sinew of the nation, the laborers of the land, where alone, in these days of Bank rule, and ragocrat corruption, real virtue and love of liberty is to be found.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
