Petty Kingdoms

Famous quotes containing the words petty and/or kingdoms:

    But each day brings its petty dust
    Our soon-choked souls to fill,
    And we forget because we must,
    And not because we will.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    How will it be with kingdoms and with kings—
    With those who shaped him to the thing he is—
    When this dumb Terror shall rise to judge the world,
    After the silence of the centuries?
    Edwin Markham (1852–1940)
