Famous quotes containing the words lord, high and/or admiral:

    And Faith fair scorn doth gain.
    From so ungrateful fancy,
    From such a female franzy,
    From them that use men thus,
    Good Lord deliver us.
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    I know not how,
    But I do find it cowardly and vile,
    For fear of what might fall, so to prevent
    The time of life—arming myself with patience
    To stay the providence of some high powers
    That govern us below.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In this country it is a good thing to kill an admiral from time to time to encourage the others.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
