Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or titles:
“Not to these shores she came! this other Thrace,
Environ barbarous to the royal Attic;
How could her delicate dirge run democratic,
Delivered in a cloudless boundless public place
To an inordinate race?”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
“I have known a German Prince with more titles than subjects, and a Spanish nobleman with more names than shirts.”
