Famous quotes containing the words earth and/or empire:
“If thou dost slander her and torture me,
Never pray more; abandon all remorse;
On horror’s head horrors accumulate;
Do deeds to make heaven weep, all earth amazed;
For nothing canst thou to damnation add
Greater than that.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“To Americans I hardly need to say,—
“Westward the star of empire takes its way.””
