Ring

Famous quotes containing the word ring:

    I saw Eternity the other night,
    Like a great ring of pure and endless light,
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    Genius resembles a bell; in order to ring it must be suspended into pure air, and when a foreign body touches it, its joyful tone is silenced.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    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)
