Famous quotes containing the words empire and/or sweet:
“Without the Empire we should be tossed like a cork in the cross current of world politics. It is at once our sword and our shield.”

Young Dawn of our Eternal Day!

And chase the trembling shades away.
We saw Thee and we blest the sight,
We saw Thee by Thine own sweet light.”
