Famous quotes containing the words prize and/or cup:
“To a maiden true hell give his hand,
Hey lillie, ho lillie lallie,
To the kings daughter o fair England,
To a prize that was won by a slain brothers brand,
I the brave nights so early.”
—Unknown. Earl Brand (l. 6771)
“I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
