Electors of Brandenburg - Upper Presidents of Brandenburg

Upper Presidents of Brandenburg

Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or presidents:

    The stately Homes of England,
    How beautiful they stand,
    To prove the upper classes
    Have still the upper hand.
    Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    Our presidents have been getting to be synthetic monsters, the work of a hundred ghost- writers and press agents so that it is getting harder and harder to discover the line between the man and the institution.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
