Golden Arrows

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or arrows:

    He, that holds fast the golden mean,
    And lives contentedly between
    The little and the great,
    Feels not the wants that pinch the poor,
    Nor plagues that haunt the rich man’s door,
    Imbitt’ring all his state.
    Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8)

    Your master Robin Hood lies dead,
    Therefore sigh as you sing.

    Here lie his primer and his beads,
    His bent bow and his arrows keen,
    His good sword and his holy cross:
    Anthony Munday (1553–1633)
