Quotation with: "king"
"See where she comes, apparelled like the spring,
Graces her subjects, and her thoughts the king
Of every virtue gives renown to men!"
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Apparel
"There was King Bradmond's palace,
Was never none richer, the story says:
For all the windows and the walls
Were painted with gold, both towers and halls;
Pillars and doors all were of brass;
Windows of latten were set with glass;
It was so rich in many wise,
That it was like a paradise."
Author: Sir Bevis of Hamptoun
About: Architecture
"Authority forgets a dying king,
Laid widow'd of the power in his eye
That bow'd the will."
Author: Lord Alfred Tennyson
About: Authority
"Therefore doth heaven divide
The state of man in divers functions,
Setting endeavor in continual motion;
To which is fixed as an aim or butt
Obedience; for so work the honeybees,
Creatures that by a rule in nature teach
The act of order to a peopled kingdom.
They have a king, and officers of sorts,
Where some like magistrates correct at home,
Others like merchants venture trade abroad,
Others like soldiers armed in their stings
Make boot upon the summer's velvet buds,
Which pillage they with merry march bring home
To the tent-royal of their emperor,
Who, busied in his majesties, surveys
The singing masons building roofs of gold,
The civil citizens kneading up the honey,
The poor mechanic porters crowding in
Their heavy burdens at his narrow gate,
The sad-eyed justice with his surly hum
Delivering o'er to executors pale
The lazy yawning drone."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Bees
"The real beggar is indeed the true and only king.
[Ger., Der wahre Bettler ist
Doch einzig und allein der wahre Konig.]"
Author: Ephraim Gotthold Lessing
About: Beggary
"I'd just as soon a beggar as king,
And the reason I'll tell you for why;
A king cannot swagger, not drink like a beggar,
Nor be half so happy as I.
. . . .
Let the back and side go bare."
Author: Old Song
About: Beggary
"The years of slavery are past,
The Belgian rejoices once more;
Courage restores to him at last
The rights he held of yore.
Strong and firm his grasp will be–
Keeping the ancient flag unfurled
To fling its message on the watchful world:
For king, for right, for liberty.
[Fr., Apres des siecles d'esclavage,
Le Belge sortant du tombeau,
A reconquis par son courage,
Son nom, ses droits et son drapeau,
Et ta main souveraine et fiere,
Peuple desormais indompte,
Grava sur ta vieille banniere,
Le Roi, la loi, la liberte."
Author: Louis A. Dechez ("Jenneval")
About: Belgium
"There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard."
Author: The Bible
About: Bible
"Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich
in thy bedchamber; for a bird of the air shall carry the voice,
and that which hath wings shall tell the matter."
Author: Bible
About: Birds

Whose music, to my thinking, pleased the king."
Author: William Shakespeare
