City Kingdoms

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or kingdoms:

    You’ve been trying to keep an honest accounting of city monies. You’ve been dealing with politicians. You’ve been standing up for your own rights, haven’t you? Naturally you landed in jail.
    Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)

    There was never a man born so wise or good, but one or more companions came into the world with him, who delight in his faculty, and report it. I cannot see without awe, that no man thinks alone and no man acts alone, but the divine assessors who came up with him into life,—now under one disguise, now under another,—like a police in citizen’s clothes, walk with him, step for step, through all kingdoms of time.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
