Ranked Firm

Famous quotes containing the words ranked and/or firm:

“The trumpets sound, the banners fly,
The glittering spears are ranked ready;
The shouts o’ war are heard afar,
The battle closes thick and bloody;
But it’s no the roar o’ sea or shore
Wad mak me langer wish to tarry;
Nor shout o’ war that’s heard afar,
Its leaving thee, my bonnie Mary.”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)

“It is meet
That noble minds keep ever with their likes;
For who so firm that cannot be seduced?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
