Famous quotes containing the words kenneth, iii and/or scotland:

    Among all the world’s races, some obscure Bedouin tribes possibly apart, Americans are the most prone to misinformation. This is not the consequence of any special preference for mendacity, although at the higher levels of their public administration that tendency is impressive.

    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    The Empress is Legitimist, my cousin is Republican, Morny is Orleanist, I am a socialist; the only Bonapartist is Persigny, and he is mad.
    —Napoleon Bonaparte III (1808–1873)

    James I of England, James VI of Scotland (1566–1625)
