Famous quotes containing the words crown and/or servant:
“‘Tis not the balm, the sceptre, and the ball,
The sword, the mace, the crown imperial,
The intertissued robe of gold and pearl,
...
Not all these, laid in bed majestical,
Can sleep so soundly as the wretched slave
Who with a body filled and vacant mind
Gets him to rest, crammed with distressful bread.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
““Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to your word; for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared in the presence of all peoples, light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to thy people Israel.””
—Bible: New Testament (RSV)
