Famous quotes containing the word subjects:
“Under the dominion of an idea, which possesses the minds of multitudes, as civil freedom, or the religious sentiment, the power of persons are no longer subjects of calculation. A nation of men unanimously bent on freedom, or conquest, can easily confound the arithmetic of statists, and achieve extravagant actions, out of all proportion to their means; as, the Greeks, the Saracens, the Swiss, the Americans, and the French have done.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I have come, Sire, to complain of one of your subjects who has been so audacious as to kick me in the belly.”
—Marie Antoinette (1755–1793)
“I am all the subjects that you have,
Which first was mine own king.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
