Christian King

Famous quotes containing the words christian and/or king:

    Slavery is no more sinful, by the Christian code, than it is sinful to wear a whole coat, while another is in tatters, to eat a better meal than a neighbor, or otherwise to enjoy ease and plenty, while our fellow creatures are suffering and in want.
    James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)

    There is no king or sovereign state
    That can fix a hero’s rate;
    Each to all is venerable.
