Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or pike:
“The intelligent have a right over the ignorant, namely, the right of instructing them. The right punishment of one out of tune, is to make him play in tune; the fine which the good, refusing to govern, ought to pay, is, to be governed by a worse man; that his guards shall not handle gold and silver, but shall be instructed that there is gold and silver in their souls, which will make men willing to give them every thing which they need.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Death had his grudge against me, and he got up in the way, like an
armed robber, with a pike in his hand.”
—Petrarch (1304–1374)
