Deputy Supreme King

Famous quotes containing the words deputy, supreme and/or king:

    Not all the water in the rough rude sea
    Can wash the balm off from an anointed king;
    The breath of worldly men cannot depose
    The deputy elected by the Lord.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It is not woman who claims the highest in man. It is a man’s own religious soul that drives him on beyond women, to his supreme activity. For his highest, man is responsible to God alone.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    For and if thou canst answer my questions three,
    Thy life and thy living both saved shall be.
    —Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 75–76)
