Famous quotes containing the word royal:

    “Vanessa wanted to be a ballerina. Dad had such hopes for her.... Corin was the academically brilliant one, and a fencer of Olympic standard. Everything was expected of them, and they fulfilled all expectations. But I was the one of whom nothing was expected. I remember a game the three of us played. Vanessa was the President of the United States, Corin was the British Prime Minister—and I was the royal dog.”
    —Lynn Redgrave (b. 1943)

    “What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed shaken by the wind? What then did you go out to see? Someone dressed in soft robes? Look, those who wear soft robes are in royal palaces. What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Matthew 11:7-9.

    Jesus speaking about John the Baptist.

    “a highly respectable gondolier,

    And teach him the trade of a timoneer
    With his own beloved brattling.”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
