Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or king:
“Every winter the liquid and trembling surface of the pond, which was so sensitive to every breath, and reflected every light and shadow, becomes solid to the depth of a foot or a foot and a half, so that it will support the heaviest teams, and perchance the snow covers it to an equal depth, and it is not to be distinguished from any level field. Like the marmots in the surrounding hills, it closes its eyelids and becomes dormant for three months or more.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I see that Time’s the king of men;
He’s both their parent, and he is their grave,
And gives them what he will, not what they crave.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
