Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or east:

    “Here lies a man who was killed by lightning;
    He died when his prospects seemed to be brightening.
    He might have cut a flash in this world of trouble,
    But the flash cut him, and he lies in the stubble.”
    —Anonymous. From Booth, Epigrams Ancient and Modern (1863)

    “Richard. Give me a calendar.
    Who saw the sun today?
    Ratcliffe. Not I, my lord.
    Richard. Then he disdains to shine, for by the book
    He should have braved the east an hour ago.
    A black day will it be to somebody.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
