Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or titles:

    “Bohemia is nothing more than the little country in which you do not live. If you try to obtain citizenship in it, at once the court and retinue pack the royal archives and treasure and move away beyond the hills.”
    —O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)

    “We have to be despised by somebody whom we regard as above us, or we are not happy; we have to have somebody to worship and envy, or we cannot be content. In America we manifest this in all the ancient and customary ways. In public we scoff at titles and hereditary privilege, but privately we hanker after them, and when we get a chance we buy them for cash and a daughter.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
