Famous quotes containing the words majesty and/or king:
“But hospitality must be for service, and not for show, or it pulls down the host. The brave soul rates itself too high to value itself by the splendor of its table and draperies. It gives what it hath, and all it hath, but its own majesty can lend a better grace to bannocks and fair water than belong to city feasts.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Would yoube good enough Alice panted out, after running a little further, to stop a minutejust to getones breath again?
Im good enough, the King said, only Im not strong enough. You see, a minute goes by so fearfully quick. You might as well try to stop a Bandersnatch!”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
