Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or private:
“There is a close tie of affection between sovereigns and their subjects; and as chaste wives should have no eyes but for their husbands, so faithful liegemen should keep their regards at home and not look after foreign crowns. For my part I like not for my sheep to wear a stranger’s mark nor to dance after a foreigner’s whistle.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
“In all private quarrels the duller nature is triumphant by reason of dullness.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
