Strikes King

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)
