Famous quotes containing the words won and/or silver:
“Passing away, saith the World, passing away:
Chances, beauty and youth sapped day by day:
Thy life never continueth in one stay.
Is the eye waxen dim, is the dark hair changing to gray
That hath won neither laurel nor bay?”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
“Seine and Piave are silver spoons,
But the spoonbowl-metal is thin and worn,”
