Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or cup:
“O, let us have him, for his silver hairs
Will purchase us a good opinion,
And buy men’s voices to commend our deeds.”

No one touches the water of life.
It has no taste
And though it refreshes absolutely
It is a cup that must also pass
Until everybody
Gets some advantage....”
