Prince Frederick Wilhelm

Famous quotes containing the words prince, frederick and/or wilhelm:

    The Prince but studies his companions
    Like a strange tongue, wherein, to gain the language,
    ‘Tis needful that the most immodest word
    Be looked upon and learnt, which once attained,
    Your highness knows, comes to no further use
    But to be known and hated.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    For should your hands drop white and empty
    All the toys of the world would break.
    —John Frederick Nims (b. 1913)

    Poverty in itself does not make men into a rabble; a rabble is created only when there is joined to poverty a disposition of mind, an inner indignation against the rich, against society, against the government.
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
