Granting Royal Assent

Famous quotes containing the words granting, royal and/or assent:

    O cheer and tune my heartless breast,
    Defer no time;
    That so thy favours granting my request,
    They and my mind may chime,
    And mend my rhyme.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump,
    The spirit-stirring drum, th’ ear-piercing fife,
    The royal banner and all quality,
    Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I cannot assent to a measure which stains our credit. We must keep that untainted. We are a debtor nation. Low rates of interest on the vast indebtedness we must carry for many years, is the important end to be kept in view. Expediency and justice both demand honest coinage.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
