Famous quotes containing the words dragon and/or teeth:

    Sir Eglamour, that worthy knight,
    He took his sword and went to fight;
    And as he rode both hill and dale,
    Armed upon his shirt of mail,
    A dragon came out of his den,
    Had slain, God knows how many men!
    Samuel Rowlands (1570?–1630?)

    An Indian’s teeth are strong, and I noticed that he used his often where we should have used a hand. They amounted to a third hand.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
