Famous quotes containing the words empire and/or earth:
“Let Rome in Tiber melt and the wide arch
Of the ranged empire fall! Here is my space.
Kingdoms are clay; our dungy earth alike
Feeds beast as man. The nobleness of life
Is to do thus; when such a mutual pair
And such a twain can do ‘t, in which I bind,
On pain of punishment, the world to weet
We stand up peerless.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“You are more than the Earth, though you are such a dot!
You can love and think, and the Earth cannot!””
—William Brighty Rands (”Matthew Browne”)
