Monarchies in The Americas/current Monarchies/settled Monarchies

Famous quotes containing the words monarchies, americas, current and/or settled:

    If our vaunted “rule of the people” does not breed nobler men and women than monarchies have done—it must and will inevitably give place to something better.
    Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Gradually the village murmur subsided, and we seemed to be embarked on the placid current of our dreams, floating from past to future as silently as one awakes to fresh morning or evening thoughts.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “It’s good luck when you move in to begin
    With good luck with your stovepipe. Never mind,
    It’s not so bad in the country, settled down,
    When people’re getting on in life. You’ll like it.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
