Famous quotes containing the words master and/or sword:
“The beasts, the fishes, and the winged fowls
Are their males’ subjects and at their controls:
Man, more divine, the master of all these,
Lord of the wide world and wild watery seas,
Indued with intellectual sense and souls,
Of more pre-eminence than fish and fowls,
Are masters to their females, and their lords:
Then let your will attend on their accords.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.”
—Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 26:52.
