"Is this government of Britain's Isle, and..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“In thy foul throat thou liest.”

“Not all the water in the rough rude sea Can wash the balm from an anointed King.”

“Away, you mouldy rogue, away!”

“If any form of government is capable of making a nation happy, ours I think bids fair now for producing that effect. But after all much depends upon the people who are governed.”

“To possess ourselves of a clear idea of what government is, or ought to be, we must trace it to its origin.”

“I therefore consider that in view of the Constitution and the laws, the Union is unbroken; and to the extent of my ability I shall take care, as the Constitution itself expressly enjoins upon me, that the laws of the Union be faithfully executed in all the States.”

“English history consists largely of royal people getting their heads chopped off...Needless to say, this brand of history was a hit with our son.”

“Princes have but their titles for their glories,An outward honor for an inward toil;And, for unfelt imaginations,They often feel a world of restless cares.”

“No throne exists that has a right to exist, and no symbol of it, flying from any flagstaff, is righteously entitled to wear any device but the skull and crossbones of that kindred industry which differs from royalty only businesswise-merely as retail differs from wholesale.”
