Famous quotes containing the words henry and/or king:

    “Where there are large powers with little ambition ... nature may be said to have fallen short of her purposes.”
    —Sir Henry Taylor (1800–1886)

    “When Prince William [later King William IV] was at Cork in 1787, an old officer ... dined with him, and happened to say he had been forty years in the service. The Prince with a sneer asked what he had learnt in those forty years. The old gentleman justly offended, said, “Sir, I have learnt, when I am no longer fit to fight, to make as good a retreat as I can” —and walked out of the room.”
    —Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
