Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or crown:

    “Persistence can grind an iron beam down into a needle.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “I often used to think myself in the case of the fox-hunter, who, when he had toiled and sweated all day in the chase as if some unheard-of blessing was to crown his success, finds at last all he has got by his labor is a stinking nauseous animal. But my condition was yet worse than his; for he leaves the loathsome wretch to be torn by his hounds, whilst I was obliged to fondle mine, and meanly pretend him to be the object of my love.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
