Famous quotes containing the words prince and/or claus:
“When Prince William [later King William IV] was at Cork in 1787, an old officer ... dined with him, and happened to say he had been forty years in the service. The Prince with a sneer asked what he had learnt in those forty years. The old gentleman justly offended, said, “Sir, I have learnt, when I am no longer fit to fight, to make as good a retreat as I can” —and walked out of the room.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
““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)
