Silver Stars

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or stars:

    “His golden locks time hath to silver turned;
    O time too swift, O swiftness never ceasing!
    His youth ‘gainst time and age hath ever spurned,
    But spurned in vain; youth waneth by increasing.
    Beauty, strength, youth are flowers but fading seen;
    Duty, faith, love are roots, and ever green.”
    —George Peele (1559–1596)

    “I am the owner of the sphere,
    Of the seven stars and the solar year,
    Of Caesar’s hand, and Plato’s brain,
    Of Lord Christ’s heart, and Shakspeare’s strain.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
