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.”

“Dear Brand: You love laughing; there is a king dead; can you help coming to town?”
