Knights Confirmed

Famous quotes containing the words knights and/or confirmed:

“The threadbare trees, so poor and thin,
They are no wealthier than I;
But with as brave a core within
They rear their boughs to the October sky.
Poor knights they are which bravely wait
The charge of Winter’s cavalry,
Keeping a simple Roman state,
Discumbered of their Persian luxury.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“What is impossible by the nature of things is not confirmed by any law.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
