Ring

Famous quotes containing the word ring:

    The life of man is a self-evolving circle, which, from a ring imperceptibly small, rushes on all sides outwards to new and larger circles, and that without end.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    When I received this [coronation] ring I solemnly bound myself in marriage to the realm; and it will be quite sufficient for the memorial of my name and for my glory, if, when I die, an inscription be engraved on a marble tomb, saying, “Here lieth Elizabeth, which reigned a virgin, and died a virgin.”
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    Ring out the old, ring in the new,
    Ring happy bells, across the snow:
    The year is going, let him go;
    Ring out the false, ring in the true.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
