Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:

    I incline to think that the people will not now sustain the policy of upholding a State Government against a rival government, by the use of the forces of the United States. If this leads to the overthrow of the de jure government in a State, the de facto government must be recognized.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.
    Bible: New Testament, Mark 10:14.

    Jesus.
