Famous quotes containing the words lion and/or dog:

    Auld Noah was at hame wi’ them a’,
    The lion and the lamb,
    Pair by pair they entered the Ark
    And he took them as they cam’.

    There are a sort of men whose visages
    Do cream and mantle like a standing pond,
    And do a willful stillness entertain,
    With purpose to be dressed in an opinion
    Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit,
    As who should say, “I am Sir Oracle,
    And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
