Roman Emperor Frederick

Famous quotes containing the words roman, emperor and/or frederick:

    It is a dogma of the Roman Church that the existence of God can be proved by natural reason. Now this dogma would make it impossible for me to be a Roman Catholic. If I thought of God as another being like myself, outside myself, only infinitely more powerful, then I would regard it as my duty to defy him.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    Even the emperor has poor relations.
    Chinese proverb.

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