Golden Headed Lion

Famous quotes containing the words golden, headed and/or lion:

    “Nor envy’s snaky eye, finds harbour here,
    Nor flatterers’ venomous insinuations,
    Nor cunning humorists’ puddled opinions,
    Nor courteous ruin of proffered usury,
    Nor time prattled away, cradle of ignorance,
    Nor causeless duty, nor comber of arrogance,
    Nor trifling title of vanity dazzleth us,
    Nor golden manacles stand for a paradise;”
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    “It must have looked as if the course
    He steered was really straight away
    From that which he was headed for
    Not much concerned for them, I say;
    No more so than became a man
    And politician at odd seasons.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The lion dying thrusteth forth his paw
    And wounds the earth, if nothing else, with rage
    To be o’erpowered.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
