Famous quotes containing the words king and/or cup:
“Not Solomon, for all his wit,
Nor Samson, though he were so strong,
No king nor person ever yet
Could ‘scape, but death laid him along:”
—Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)
“There is not enough exercise in this way of life. I try to make up by active gymnastics before I dress when I get up, by walking rapidly in the lower hall and the greenhouse after each meal for perhaps five to ten minutes, and a good hand rubbing before going to bed. I eat moderately; drink one cup of coffee at breakfast and one cup of tea at lunch and no other stimulant. My health is now, and usually, excellent.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
