Heir Designate

Famous quotes containing the words heir and/or designate:

    You never enjoy the world aright, till the sea itself floweth in your veins, till you are clothed with the heavens and crowned with the stars: and perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world.
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    I devote myself to what I love the most, and for this very reason I hesitate to designate it with lofty words: I do not want to risk believing that it is a sublime compulsion, a law, which I obey: I love what I love the most too much to wish to appear to it as one compelled.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
