Famous quotes containing the word fire:

    The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic.

    There is a slumbering subterranean fire in nature which never goes out, and which no cold can chill.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    And all shall be well and
    All manner of thing shall be well
    When the tongues of flame are in-folded
    Into the crowned knot of fire
    And the fire and the rose are one.
