Famous quotes containing the words empire and/or sweet:
“Let Rome in Tiber melt and the wide arch
Of the ranged empire fall! Here is my space.
Kingdoms are clay; our dungy earth alike
Feeds beast as man. The nobleness of life
Is to do thus; when such a mutual pair
And such a twain can do ‘t, in which I bind,
On pain of punishment, the world to weet
We stand up peerless.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“O, let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven!
Keep me in temper, I would not be mad!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
