Famous quotes containing the words king and/or lists:
“The universe has no prince or king that it [Rome] would consider equal to its humblest citizen.”

“Most of our platitudes notwithstanding, self-deception remains the most difficult deception. The tricks that work on others count for nothing in that very well-lit back alley where one keeps assignations with oneself: no winning smiles will do here, no prettily drawn lists of good intentions.”
