Famous quotes containing the word guard:

    Lord Angelo is precise,
    Stands at a guard with envy, scarce confesses
    That his blood flows, or that his appetite
    Is more to bread than stone. Hence shall we see
    If power change purpose, what our seemers be.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
