Famous quotes containing the words commonwealth and/or realms:

    “I’the commonwealth I would by contraries
    Execute all things; for no kind of traffic
    Would I admit; no name of magistrate;
    Letters should not be known; riches, poverty,
    And use of service, none; contract, succession,
    Bourn, bound of land, tilth, vineyard, none;
    No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil;
    No occupation; all men idle, all,
    And women too, but innocent and pure.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Here thou, great Anna! whom three realms obey,
    Dost sometimes counsel take—and sometimes tea.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
