Silver Latin

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or latin:

    “His golden locks time hath to silver turned;
    O time too swift, O swiftness never ceasing!
    His youth ‘gainst time and age hath ever spurned,
    But spurned in vain; youth waneth by increasing.
    Beauty, strength, youth are flowers but fading seen;
    Duty, faith, love are roots, and ever green.”
    —George Peele (1559–1596)

    “Whither goest thou?”
