Famous quotes containing the words duke and/or montrose:
“Humes doctrine was that the circumstances vary, the amount of happiness does not; that the beggar cracking fleas in the sunshine under a hedge, and the duke rolling by in his chariot; the girl equipped for her first ball, and the orator returning triumphant from the debate, had different means, but the same quantity of pleasant excitement.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Ill make thee glorious by my pen
And famous by my sword;
Ill serve thee in such noble ways
Was never heard before;
Ill crown and deck thee all with bays,
And love thee more and more.”
—James Graham Marquess of Montrose (16121650)
