King

Famous quotes containing the word king:

    “I’ll stake all my soul
    on that beauty,
    till God shall awake
    again in men’s hearts,
    who have said he is dead
    our King and our Lover.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “I know I have the body of a weak, feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king—and of a King of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which, rather than any dishonour should grow by me, I myself will take up arms—I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field.”
    —Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    “For life is the mirror of king and slave—”
    —Madeline Bridges (fl. C. 1840)
