Famous quotes containing the words prince and/or claus:
“They say princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer. He will throw a prince as soon as his groom.”
—Ben Jonson (c. 1572–1637)
““That’s where I reckon Santa Claus comes in
To be our parents’ pseudonymity
In Christmas giving, so they can escape
The thanks and let him catch it as a scapegoat....””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
