Famous quotes containing the words north, kings and/or river:
“The North will at least preserve your flesh for you; Northerners are pale for good and all. There’s very little difference between a dead Swede and a young man who’s had a bad night. But the Colonial is full of maggots the day after he gets off the boat.”
—Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
“Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, able to discern between good and evil; for who can govern this your great people?”
—Bible: Hebrew, 1 Kings 3:9.
Solomon to God.
“Other roads do some violence to Nature, and bring the traveler to stare at her, but the river steals into the scenery it traverses without intrusion, silently creating and adorning it, and is as free to come and go as the zephyr.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
