Famous quotes containing the words strikes and/or king:
“A man of sense, though born without wit, often lives to have wit. His memory treasures up ideas and reflections; he compares them with new occurrences, and strikes out new lights from the collision. The consequence is sometimes bons mots, and sometimes apothegms.”

“I would not like a king who could obey.”
—Pierre Corneille (16061684)
