Strikes King

Famous quotes containing the words strikes and/or king:

    You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also; and if anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well...
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 5:38-40.

    Jesus.

    Not Solomon, for all his wit,
    Nor Samson, though he were so strong,
    No king nor person ever yet
    Could ‘scape, but death laid him along:
    Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)
