Famous quotes containing the words bull and/or rock:

    “Not only the bull attacks his enemies with curved horn, but also the sheep, when harmed fights back.”
    —Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)

    “The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
    great recoil,
    And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
    But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
    Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
    guns!”
    —John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
