Famous quotes containing the words kingdom and/or ruled:
“Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,—and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Those who have ruled human destinies, like planets, for thousands of years, were not handsome men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
