Royal Servants

Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or servants:

    “When other helpers fail and comforts flee, when the senses decay and the mind moves in a narrower and narrower circle, when the grasshopper is a burden and the postman brings no letters, and even the Royal Family is no longer quite what it was, an obituary column stands fast.”
    —Sylvia Townsend Warner (1893–1978)

    “Let our hearts, as subtle masters do,
    Stir up their servants to an act of rage
    And after seem to chide ‘em. This shall make
    Our purpose necessary, and not envious;
    Which so appearing to the common eyes,
    We shall be called purgers, not murderers.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
