Famous quotes containing the words german and/or king:
“The German mind, may it live! Almost invisible as a mind, it finally manifests itself assertively as a conviction.”

Or whisper that a man’s a fool
Who when his own right king’s forgotten
Cares what king sets up his rule.
If he died long ago
Why do you dread us so?”
