Spartan King

Famous quotes containing the words spartan and/or king:

“My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind,
So flewed, so sanded; and their heads are hung
With ears that sweep away the morning dew;
Crook-kneed, and dewlapped like Thessalian bulls;
Slow in pursuit, but matched in mouth like bells,
Each under each.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Time’s the king of men;
He’s both their parent and he is their grave,
And gives them what he will, not what they crave.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
