Famous quotes containing the words henry, viii, kings and/or matter:

    Of moral purpose I see no trace in Nature. That is an article of exclusively human manufacture—and very much to our credit.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    I see and hear daily that you of the Clergy preach one against another, teach one contrary to another, inveigh one against another without charity or discretion. Some be too stiff in their old mumpsimus, others be too busy and curious in their new sumpsimus. Thus all men almost be in variety and discord.
    —Henry VIII (1491–1547)

    Have you found me, O my enemy?
    Bible: Hebrew, 1 Kings 21:20.

    Kirsten: So you’re the new public relations man.
    Joe: Yeah.
    Kirsten: What happened to Eddie?
    Joe: Eddie quit.
    Kirsten: I liked him. Why’d he quit?
    Joe: Well, a little matter of personal integrity. Eddie didn’t feel that getting dates for potentates was part of public relations.
    Kirsten: But isn’t it?
    Joe: Well, there’s a name for it but it’s not “public relations.”
    —J.P. (James Pinckney)
