Empire Sweet

Famous quotes containing the words empire and/or sweet:

    So farewell hope, and with hope, farewell fear,
    Farewell remorse! All good to me is lost;
    Evil, be thou my Good: by thee at least
    Divided empire with Heaven’s King I hold,
    By thee, and more than half perhaps will reign;
    As Man ere long, and this new World, shall know.”
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    Lowly persons can be sweet as honey, and then in the twinkling of an eye, become your enemy.
