Mouse King

Famous quotes containing the words mouse and/or king:

“It is as when a migrating army of mice girdles a forest of pines. The chopper fells trees from the same motive that the mouse gnaws them,—to get his living. You tell me that he has a more interesting family than the mouse. That is as it happens.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“There is no king or sovereign state
That can fix a hero’s rate;
Each to all is venerable.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
