Kingdom

Famous quotes containing the word kingdom:

    I’ll give my jewels for a set of beads,
    My gorgeous palace for a hermitage,
    ...
    And my large kingdom for a little grave,
    A little, little grave, an obscure grave.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Rev. J.D. Liddell: The Kingdom of God is not a democracy. The Lord never seeks re- election. There’s no discussion. No deliberation. No referenda as to which road to take. There’s one right, one wrong. One absolute ruler.
    Sandy: A dictator, you mean.
    Rev. J.D. Liddell: Aye, but a benign, loving dictator.
    Colin Welland (b. 1934)

    A lifetime [or, eternity] is a child playing, playing checkers; the kingdom belongs to a child.
    Heraclitus (c. 535–475 B.C.)
