Thrones Quotes (page 5)

John Wilmot quote: "All monarchs I hate, and the thrones they sit on, From the..."
All monarchs I hate, and the thrones they sit on, From the hector of France to the cully of Britain. John Wilmot
This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea. William Shakespeare
Though we may not be able to see His purpose or His plan, the Lord of heaven is on His throne and in firm control of the universe and our lives. Max Lucado
The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven. Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest; It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes. The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway; It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God... William Shakespeare
Emile Zola quote: "Kings may usurp thrones, republics may be established, but the..."
Kings may usurp thrones, republics may be established, but the town scarcely stirs. Plassan sleeps while Paris fights. Emile Zola
We all of us need to be toppled off the throne of self, my dear," he said. "Perched up there the tears of others are never upon our own cheek. Elizabeth Goudge
From that time on the parish priest began to show signs of senility that would lead him to say years later that the devil had probably won his rebellion against God, and that he was the one who sat on the heavenly throne, without revealing his true identity in order to trap the unwary. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The common people pray for rain, healthy children and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace. George R. R. Martin
In the game of thrones, even h=the humblest of pieces can have wills of their own. Sometimes they refuse to make the moves you've planned for them. George R. R. Martin
Jeffery Deaver quote: "Down to Gehenna or up to the throne, / He who travels fastest..."
Down to Gehenna or up to the throne, / He who travels fastest who travels alone... Jeffery Deaver
Money is a needful and precious thing, and when well used, a noble thing, but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for. I'd rather see you poor men's wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self-respect and peace. Louisa May Alcott
Animistic savages prostrating themselves before a painted stone have always seemed to me to be nearer the truth than any Einstein or Bertrand Russell. As it might be pigs in a crowded sty, jostling and shoving to bury their snouts in the trough; until one of them momentarily lifts his snout upwards in the air, in so doing expressing the hope of all enlightenment to come; breaking off from his guzzling to point with his lifted snout to where the angels and archangels gather round God's throne. Malcolm Muggeridge
John Milton quote: "High on a throne of royal state, which far"
High on a throne of royal state, which far John Milton
J. K. Rowling quote: "He has never wanted to occupy the throne himself; he prefers..."
He has never wanted to occupy the throne himself; he prefers the back seat - more room to spread out, you see. J. K. Rowling
He is not the soul of Nature, nor any part of Nature. He inhabits eternity: He dwells in a high and holy place: heaven is His throne, not his vehicle, earth is his footstool, not his vesture. One day he will dismantle both and make a new heaven and earth. He is not to be identified even with the 'divine spark' in man. He is 'God and not man. C. S. Lewis
