Famous quotes containing the words knights, cross and/or iron:
“The threadbare trees, so poor and thin,
They are no wealthier than I;
But with as brave a core within
They rear their boughs to the October sky.
Poor knights they are which bravely wait
The charge of Winter’s cavalry,
Keeping a simple Roman state,
Discumbered of their Persian luxury.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The point is to show who is the cross and who the crucified.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“Morality, a muzzle for the will; logic, a climbing iron for the mind.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
