Kingdom

Famous quotes containing the word kingdom:

    A box of teak, a box of sandalwood,
    A brass-ringed spyglass in a case,
    A coin, leaf-thin with many polishings,
    Last kingdom of a gold forgotten face,
    These lie about the room....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 13:44.

    Boredom is the legitimate kingdom of the philanthropic.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
