Lightning Strike

Famous quotes containing the words lightning and/or strike:

“O, better that her shattered hulk
Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave;
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale!”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

“Now you strike like the blind man; ‘twas the boy that stole your meat, and you’ll beat the post.”
