Hard Strike

Famous quotes containing the words hard and/or strike:

“A strange age of the world this, when empires, kingdoms, and republics come a-begging to a private man’s door, and utter their complaints at his elbow!

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“In love, it is the weak who strike and the strong who caress.”
