Throne Speech

Famous quotes containing the words throne and/or speech:

    “And though the shady gloom
    Had given day her room,
    The sun himself withheld his wonted speed,
    And hid his head for shame,
    As his inferior flame
    The new-enlightened world no more should need;
    He saw a greater Sun appear
    Than his bright throne or burning axle-tree could bear.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “Good speech need not be behind other’s backs; speech behind other’s backs is not good.”
