Famous quotes containing the words life and/or guards:

    “There is something servile in the habit of seeking after a law which we may obey. We may study the laws of matter at and for our convenience, but a successful life knows no law.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “For every man that Bolingbroke hath pressed
    To lift shrewd steel against our golden crown,
    God for his Richard hath in heavenly pay
    A glorious angel. Then if angels fight,
    Weak men must fall; for heaven still guards the right.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
