Lightning Strike

Famous quotes containing the words lightning and/or strike:

    The lightning there is peculiar; it is so convincing! When it strikes a thing, it doesn’t leave enough of that thing behind for you to tell whether—well, you’d think it was something valuable, and a Congressman had been there.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    We are the men of intrinsic value, who can strike our fortunes out of ourselves, whose worth is independent of accidents in life, or revolutions in government: we have heads to get money, and hearts to spend it.
    George Farquhar (1678–1707)
