What is lion sleeps tonight?

Famous quotes containing the words lion, sleeps and/or tonight:

    It is curious how there seems to be an instinctive disgust in Man for his nearest ancestors and relations. If only Darwin could conscientiously have traced man back to the Elephant or the Lion or the Antelope, how much ridicule and prejudice would have been spared to the doctrine of Evolution.
    Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)

    A clever wife often sleeps with a stupid husband.
    Chinese proverb.

    And if tonight my soul may find her peace
    in sleep, and sink in good oblivion,
    and in the morning wake like a new-opened flower
    then I have been dipped again in God, and new-created.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
