Famous quotes containing the word empire:

    “To found a great empire for the sole purpose of raising up a people of customers, may at first sight appear a project fit only for a nation of shopkeepers. It is, however, a project altogether unfit for a nation of shopkeepers, but extremely fit for a nation that is governed by shopkeepers.”
    —Adam Smith (1723–1790)

    “So farewell hope, and with hope, farewell fear,
    Farewell remorse! All good to me is lost;
    Evil, be thou my Good: by thee at least
    Divided empire with Heaven’s King I hold,
    By thee, and more than half perhaps will reign;
    As Man ere long, and this new World, shall know.””
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “The trouble with Freud is that he never played the Glasgow Empire Saturday night.”
    —Ken Dodd (b. 1931)
