Famous quotes containing the words knights, grand and/or cross:
“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)

You’re a high-flying flag.
And forever in peace may you wave.”
—George M. Cohan (1878–1942)
“If I can cross him any way, I bless myself every way.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
