“I married the Duke for better or worse, but not for lunch.” - Quotes by William Shakespeare
“Gives not the hawthorn bush a sweeter shade.To shepherds looking on their silly sheep, Than doth a rich embroider’d canopy. To kings that fear their subjects’ treachery? A king of shreds and patches. Ay, every inch a king. It is well done, and fitting for a princess. Descended of so many royal kings. A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse! Not all the water in the rude rough sea.Can wash the balm from an anointed king. For God’s sake let us sit upon the ground. And tell sad stories of the death of kings: How some have been deposed; some slainin war; Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed; Some poison’d by their wives; some sleeping kill’d; All murder’d: for within the hollow crown. That rounds the mortal temples of a king. Keeps Death his court. Here I and sorrows sit; Here is my throne, bid kings come bow to it. Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.”
- Quotes by George Bernard Shaw
“Titles distinguish the mediocre, embarrass the superior, and are disgraced by the inferior. He who slays a king and he who dies for him are alike idolaters.” - Quotes by Walter Carruthers Sellar
“James I slobbered at the mouth and had favourites; he was thus a bad king.”
