Famous quotes containing the words strikes and/or king:
“But he her fears to cease
Sent down the meek-eyed Peace;
She, crowned with olive green, came softly sliding
Down through the turning sphere,
His ready harbinger,
With turtle wing the amorous clouds dividing,
And waving wide her myrtle wand,
She strikes a universal peace through sea and land.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“The honest man, though e’er sae poor,
Is king o’ men, for a’ that!”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
