Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or household:

    These are not the artificial forests of an English king,—a royal preserve merely. Here prevail no forest laws but those of nature. The aborigines have never been dispossessed, nor nature disforested.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Now, as always, the most automated appliance in a household is the mother.
    Beverly Jones (b. 1927)
