Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or crown:

    “Let us roll all our strength, and all
    Our sweetness, up into one ball:
    And tear our pleasures with rough strife,
    Thorough the iron gates of life.
    Thus, though we cannot make our sun
    Stand still, yet we will make him run.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    “The sight of one of these frontier houses, built of these great logs, whose inhabitants have unflinchingly maintained their ground many summers and winters in the wilderness, reminds me of famous forts, like Ticonderoga or Crown Point, which have sustained memorable sieges.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
