Famous quotes containing the words master and/or sword:
“To be one’s own master is to be the slave of self.”
—Natalie Clifford Barney (1876–1972)
“He who the sword of heaven will bear
Should be as holy as severe;
Pattern in himself to know,
Grace to stand, and virtue go;
More nor less to others paying
Than by self-offenses weighing.
Shame to him whose cruel striking
Kills for faults of his own liking!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
