Famous quotes containing the words flying and/or enterprise:
“No April can revive thy withered flowers,
Whose blooming grace adorns thy glory now;
Swift speeding Time, feathered with flying hours,
Dissolves the beauty of the fairest brow.
Oh let not then such riches waste in vain,
But love whilst that thou mayst be loved again.”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
“In enterprise of martial kind, When there was any fighting,
He led his regiment from behind— He found it less exciting.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
