Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:

    “Before abstraction everything is one, but one like chaos; after abstraction everything is united again, but this union is a free binding of autonomous, self-determined beings. Out of a mob a society has developed, chaos has been transformed into a manifold world.”
    —Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

    “It is easier to govern a kingdom than to rule a family.”
    —Chinese proverb.
