Famous quotes containing the word empire:

    “Positively I sit here, and look at Europe sink, first one deck disappearing, then another, and the whole ship slowly plunging bow-down into the abyss; until the nightmare gets to be howling. The Roman Empire was a trifle to it.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
