“Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just, and four times he who gets his fist in fust”
Josh Billings
“What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted! Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just, and he but naked, though locked up in steel, whose conscience with injustice is corrupted.”
William Shakespeare
“Fought all his battles o'er again; / And thrice he routed all his foes; and thrice he slew the slain.”
John Dryden
“`The game is done! I've won, I've won!' / Quoth she, and whistles thrice.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.”
Bible
“Twice or thrice had I loved thee, Before I knew thy face or name; So in a voice, so in a shapeless flame, Angels affect us oft, and worshipped be”
John Donne
“Thrice happy is that humble pair, Beneath the level of all care! Over whose heads those arrows fly, Of sad distrust and jealousy.”
Edmund Waller
