Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:
“Human life in common is only made possible when a majority comes together which is stronger than any separate individual and which remains united against all separate individuals.

—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“This is the Key of the Kingdom:
In that Kingdom is a city;”
—Unknown. This Is the Key (l. 1–2)
