Famous quotes containing the words house of, house and/or stuart:
“You see how this House of Commons has begun to verify all the ill prophecies that were made of it—low, vulgar, meddling with everything, assuming universal competency, and flattering every base passion—and sneering at everything noble refined and truly national. The direct tyranny will come on by and by, after it shall have gratified the multitude with the spoil and ruin of the old institutions of the land.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“Darling, the only ghoul in the house is you.”
—Robb White, and William Castle. Annabelle Loren (Carol Ohmart)
“Tell me, Grinder, if thou grindest
Always, always out of tune.”
—Charles Stuart Calverley (1831–1884)
