Famous quotes containing the words empire and/or sweet:
“London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained.”

“Macbeth. Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased,
Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
Raze out the written troubles of the brain,
And with some sweet oblivious antidote
Cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff
Which weighs upon the heart?
Doctor. Therein the patient
Must minister to himself.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
