Famous quotes containing the words royal, air, force and/or police:

    Although my royal rank causes me to doubt whether my kingdom is not more sought after than myself, yet I understand that you have found other graces in me.
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    His hope is treacherous only whose love dies
    With beauty, which is varying every hour;
    But, in chaste hearts uninfluenced by the power
    Of outward change, there blooms a deathless flower,
    That breathes on earth the air of paradise.
    Michelangelo Buonarroti (1474–1564)

    The force that through the green fuse drives the flower
    Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees
    Is my destroyer.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    I guess a career in the police didn’t really prepare you for this, did it?
    Bob Hunt (b. 1951)
