Famous quotes containing the words lion and/or capital:

    It is all right for the lion and the lamb to lie down together if they are both asleep, but if one of them begins to get active it is dangerous.
    Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)

    There was a sound of revelry by night,
    And Belgium’s capital had gathered then
    Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright
    The lamps shone o’er fair women and brave men;
    A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
    Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
    Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
    And all went merry as a marriage-bell;
    But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
