Famous quotes containing the words martial, arts and/or lineage:

    Inspire the Vocal Brass, Inspire;
    The World is past its Infant Age:
    Arms and Honour,
    Arms and Honour,
    Set the Martial Mind on Fire,
    And kindle Manly Rage.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    Most arts require long study and application; but the most useful art of all, that of pleasing, requires only the desire.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    I declare
    Two lineages electrify the air,
    That will like pennons from a mast
    Fly over sleep and life and death
    Till sun is powerless to decoy
    A single seed above the earth:
    Lineage of sorrow: lineage of joy....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
