Famous quotes containing the word kings:

    “It is an imprudence common to kings to listen to too much advice and to err in their choice.”
    —Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

    “High on a throne of royal state, which far
    Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of Ind,
    Or where the gorgeous East with richest hand
    Show’rs on her kings barbaric pearl and gold,
    Satan exalted sat, by merit raised
    To that bad eminence; and, from despair
    Thus high uplifted beyond hope, aspires
    Beyond thus high, insatiate to pursue
    Vain war with Heav’n, and by success untaught,
    His proud imaginations”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “What infinite heart’s ease
    Must kings neglect, that private men enjoy!
    And what have kings, that privates have not too,
    Save ceremony, save general ceremony?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
