Famous quotes containing the words princely and/or rulers:
“A princely marriage is the brilliant edition of a universal fact, and, as such, it rivets mankind.”

“The government does not concern me much, and I shall bestow the fewest possible thoughts on it. It is not many moments that I live under a government, even in this world. If a man is thought- free, fancy-free, imagination-free ... unwise rulers or reformers cannot fatally interrupt him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
