Emperor Wilhelm

Famous quotes containing the words emperor and/or wilhelm:

    The emperor is in the Church, not about the Church.
    Ambrose (c. 333–397)

    Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.
    —Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
