The Iron Throne is mine by rights. All those who deny that are my foes. The whole of the realm denies it, brother, said Renley. Old men deny it with their death rattle, and unborn children deny it in their mothers' wombs. They deny it in Dorne and they deny it on the Wall. No one wants you for their king. Sorry.
George R. R. Martin
Image
The iron arc of the avoiding journey Curves back upon my weakness at the end Whether the faint light spark against my face Or in the dark my sight hide from my sight, Centre and circumference are both my weakness.
Stephen Spender
Image
We are always getting ready to live, but never living... The wave moves onward but the particles of which it is composed do not... It cannot be but that at intervals throughout society there are real men intermixed . . . as the carpenter puts one iron bar in his bannister for every five or six wooden ones.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Just as iron rusts from disuse... even so does inaction spoil the intellect.
Leonardo da Vinci

Debt, grinding debt, whose iron face the widow, the orphan, and the sons of genius fear and hate debt, which consumes so much time, which so cripples and disheartens a great spirit with cares that seem so base, is a preceptor whose lessons cannot be foregone, and is needed most by those who suffer from it most.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
You cannot make steel until you have made the iron white-hot in fire. It is not meant for harm. Trouble and disease have a lesson for us. Our painful experiences are not meant to destroy us, but to burn out our dross, to hurry us back Home. No one is more anxious for our release than God.
Paramahansa Yogananda

Time can make soft that iron wood.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

The hooves of the horse! Oh! witching and sweet is the music earth steals from the iron-shod feet no whisper of love, no trilling of bird, can stir me as hooves on the horse have stirred.
William Henry Ogilvie

Think of a field of daisies: they bloom, they wither, and in the spring they grow again. Who wants to see the same stupid daisy year after year, especially with a bunch of crappy iron-lung-type equipment bolted to it?
Rudy Rucker

Power is like being a lady... if you have to tell people you are, you aren't.
Margaret Thatcher
Image
...and she felt the words come from some iron place within her that hadn't existed an hour ago. She didn't speak loudly, but there was such a change in her voice. Coming from that iron place, it was heavy and true it wasn't persuasive, or desperate, or antagonistic. It just was.

Physician of the Iron Age, Goethe has done his pilgrimage. He took the suffering human race, He read each wound, each weakness clear -- And struck his finger on the place, And said -- Thou ailest here, and here.
Matthew Arnold
Image
Death is appalling to those of the most iron nerves, when it comes quietly and in the stillness and solitude of night.
James F. Cooper

Cows eat grass and silage. This is melting the ice caps and killing us all. So they need a new foodstuff: something that is rich in iron, calcium and natural goodness. Plainly they cannot eat meat so here is an idea to chew on. Why not feed them vegetarians?
Jeremy Clarkson
Image
Real disciples absorb the fiery darts of the adversary by holding aloft the quenching shield of faith with one hand, while holding to the iron rod with the other (see Eph. 6:16 1 Ne. 15:24 D&C 27:17). There should be no mistaking it will take both hands!
Neal A. Maxwell

Don't take my criticisms as iron-clad rules but more as suggestions.
Howard Pyle

What will help you to press forward and continually hold fast to the iron rod? Center your life on the Savior and develop daily habits of righteous living.

It’s bound to be one hell of a steel wheelin, railroadin good time…while the western country rolls by and the smoke rises blacker than musical notes pouring out of that stoked-up-and-chuggin iron chariot.

Reader, pray that soon this Iron Age Will crumble, and Beauty escape the rusting cage.
Philip Jose Farmer
Image
If gold rusts, what then can iron do?
Geoffrey Chaucer
Image
Families hold each other in an iron grip of definition. One must break the grip, somehow.
Paula Fox

The greatest feeling you can get in a gym, or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is... The Pump.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

You can't weigh the soul of a man with a bar of pig-iron.
Samuel Gompers

Cold walls do not a prison make, nor iron bands a bondsman.
