Forehead Jewel

Famous quotes containing the words forehead and/or jewel:

    “Wachusett hides its lingering voice
    Within its rocky heart,
    And Allegheny graves its tone
    Throughout his lofty chart.
    Monadnock, on his forehead hoar,
    Doth seal the sacred trust,
    Your mountains build their monument,
    Though ye destroy their dust.”
    —Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)

    “The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.”
    —Sun Tzu (6th–5th century B.C.)
