Helms Opposed

Famous quotes containing the words helms and/or opposed:

“The Greeks have snatched up their spears.
They have pointed the helms of their ships
Toward the bulwarks of Troy.”

“The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatched, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in,
Bear’t that the opposed may beware of thee.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
