Lords Proprietors

Famous quotes containing the words lords and/or proprietors:

    “The lords of life, the lords of life,—
    I saw them pass
    In their own guise,
    Like and unlike,
    Portly and grim,—
    Use and surprise,
    Surface and dream,
    Succession swift, and spectral wrong,
    Temperament without a tongue,
    And the inventor of the game
    Omnipresent without name;—”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “They know, and will therefore say, that kings are the servants, not the proprietors of the people.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
