Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:
“I incline to think that the people will not now sustain the policy of upholding a State Government against a rival government, by the use of the forces of the United States. If this leads to the overthrow of the de jure government in a State, the de facto government must be recognized.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
