Dragon Kings

Famous quotes containing the words dragon and/or kings:

    And then at last our bliss
    Full and perfect is,
    But now begins; for from this happy day
    The old Dragon underground,
    In straiter limits bound,
    Not half so far casts his usurped sway,
    And, wroth to see his kingdom fail,
    Swinges the scaly horror of his folded tail.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    When private men shall act with original views, the lustre will be transferred from the actions of kings to those of gentlemen.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
