Eagle Protection

Famous quotes containing the words eagle and/or protection:

    Does the Eagle know what is in the pit
    Or wilt thou go ask the Mole?
    Can wisdom be put in a silver rod,
    Or love in a golden bowl?
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    We all cry out that the world is corrupt,—and I fear too justly,—but we never reflect, what we have to thank for it, and that it is our open countenance of vice, which gives the lye to our private censures of it, which is its chief protection and encouragement.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
