Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or king:

    Keep the home fires burning,
    While your hearts are yearning,
    Though your lads are far away
    They dream of home.
    There’s a silver lining
    Through the dark cloud shining;
    Turn the dark cloud inside out,
    Till the boys come home.
    Lena Guilbert Ford (1870–1916)

    Thou must tell me to one penny what I am worth.
    —Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 28)
