Famous quotes containing the words place and/or kings:
“He may not shine with courtly graces,
But yet, his kind, respectful air
To woman, whatsoe’er her place is,
It might be well if kings could share.
So, for the chivalric true gentleman,
Give me, I say, our own American.”
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1855–1919)
“As great as kings may be, they are what we are: they can err like other men.”
