Famous quotes containing the words prince and/or claus:

    “There was a Prince of old
    At Salem dwelt, who lived with good increase
    Of flock and fold.

    He sweetly lived; yet sweetness did not save
    His life from foes.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    No sane local official who has hung up an empty stocking over the municipal fireplace, is going to shoot Santa Claus just before a hard Christmas.
    Alfred E. Smith (1873–1944)
