Prince of Joinville

Famous quotes containing the words prince of and/or prince:

    “There was a Prince of old
    At Salem dwelt, who lived with good increase
    Of flock and fold.

    He sweetly lived; yet sweetness did not save
    His life from foes.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    The prince exults whomever he selects as his consort, but the queen, rather than elevating the subject of her choice, humiliates him as a man. By all that is right, a man is not intended to be the husband of his wife, but a woman is to be her husband’s wife.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
