Famous quotes containing the words shirley and/or clarke:

    Victorious men of earth, no more
    Proclaim how wide your empires are;
    Though you bind in every shore
    And your triumphs reach as far
    As night or day,
    Yet you, proud monarchs, must obey
    And mingle with forgotten ashes, when
    Death calls ye to the crowd of common men.
    —James Shirley (1596–1666)

    “Wherever there’s Kellys there’s trouble,” said Burke,
    “Wherever fighting’s the game,
    Or a spice of danger in grown man’s work,”
    Said Kelly, “you’ll find my name.
    —Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)
