Crown

Famous quotes containing the word crown:

    a sorrow’s crown of sorrow is remembering happier things.

    In the dead unhappy night, and when the rain is on the roof.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    I’ll make thee glorious by my pen
    And famous by my sword;
    I’ll serve thee in such noble ways
    Was never heard before;
    I’ll crown and deck thee all with bays,
    And love thee more and more.
    —James Graham Marquess of Montrose (1612–1650)

    Give me simplicity, that I may live,
    So live and like, that I may know Thy ways,
    Know them and practise them: then shall I give
    For this poor wreath, give Thee a crown of praise.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)
