Famous quotes containing the word lions:

    “Probably more than youngsters at any age, early adolescents expect the adults they care about to demonstrate the virtues they want demonstrated. They also tend to expect adults they admire to be absolutely perfect. When adults disappoint them, they can be critical and intolerant.”
    —The Lions Clubs International and the Quest Nation. The Surprising Years, I, ch.4 (1985)

    “Danger knows full well
    That Caesar is more dangerous than he.
    We are two lions littered in one day,
    And I the elder and more terrible,
    And Caesar shall go forth.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “No stout
    Lesson showed how to chat with death. We brought
    No brass fortissimo, among our talents,
    To holler down the lions in this air.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
