Brother Richard

Famous quotes containing the words brother and/or richard:

    Your brother and my sister no sooner met but they looked;

    remedy.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I have seen in this revolution a circular motion of the sovereign power through two usurpers, father and son, to the late King to this his son. For ... it moved from King Charles I to the Long Parliament; from thence to the Rump; from the Rump to Oliver Cromwell; and then back again from Richard Cromwell to the Rump; then to the Long Parliament; and thence to King Charles, where long may it remain.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
