Famous quotes containing the word iron:

    “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)
