Famous quotes containing the words court and/or ruling:
“The city is recruited from the country. In the year 1805, it is said, every legitimate monarch in Europe was imbecile.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In each event of life, how clear
Thy ruling hand I see!
Each blessing to my soul more dear,
Because conferred by Thee.”
—Helen Maria Williams (18th century)
