Famous quotes with Chalice

  • Power's not a chalice. It's a hammer. And it only does one thing. Power smashes. The subtext of all power is extortion. It's always the threat of force, of imprisonment, the threat of death. Always.”
    Adam Skelter
  • I know what the caged bird feels, alas!      When the sun is bright on the upland slopes; When the wind blows soft through the springing grass, And the river floats like a stream of glass;      When the first bird sings and the first bud opes, And the faint perfume from its chalice steals— I know what the caged bird feels!I know why the caged bird beats his wing      Till its blood is red on the cruel bars; For he must fly back to his perch and cling When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;      And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars And they pulse again with a keener sting— I know why he beats his wing!I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,      When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,— When he beats his bars and he would be free; It is not a carol of joy or glee,      But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core, But a plea that upward to Heaven he flings— I know why the caged bird sings!
    Paul Laurence Dunbar
  • O, our feeble tests of greatness! Look for one so calm of soul As to take the even chalice of his life and drink the whole. Noble deeds are held in honor, but the wide world sorely needs Hearts of patience to unravel this, — the worth of common deeds.
    Edmund Clarence Stedman
  • Here's the lily, here the rose Her full chalice shall disclose; Here's narcissus wet with dew, Windflower and the violet blue. Wear the garland I have made; Crowned with it, put pride away; For the wreath that blooms must fade; Thou thyself must fade some day, Rhodocleia.
    Maurice Baring
  • "I swear to you, then," said MacIan, after a pause. "I swear to you that nothing shall come between us. I swear to you that nothing shall be in my heart or in my head till our swords clash together. I swear it by the God you have denied, by the Blessed Lady you have blasphemed; I swear it by the seven swords in her heart. I swear it by the Holy Island where my fathers are, by the honour of my mother, by the secret of my people, and by the chalice of the Blood of God." The atheist drew up his head. "And I," he said, "give my word."
    G. K. Chesterton
