Prince of Abkhazia

Famous quotes containing the words prince of and/or prince:

    A chaplain is the minister of the Prince of Peace serving the host of the God of War—Mars. As such, he is as incongruous as a musket would be on the altar at Christmas. Why, then, is he there? Because he indirectly subserves the purpose attested by the cannon; because too he lends the sanction of the religion of the meek to that which practically is the abrogation of everything but brute Force.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    You played a party with a prince and Miss de Zuylen. You was shocked, or rather offended, with her unlimited vivacity.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)
