Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or cord:

    “When daffodils begin to peer,
    With heigh, the doxy over the dale,
    Why then comes in the sweet o’the year,
    For the red blood reigns in the winter’s pale.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes, 4:9-12.
