Knights Grand Commanders

Famous quotes containing the words knights and/or grand:

    “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)

    “Loneliness is more likely to lead to fussy housekeeping than to grand views of the Universe.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
