Famous quotes containing the words commonwealth and/or realms:

    “By this unprincipled facility of changing the state as often, and as much, and in as many ways as there are floating fancies or fashions, the whole chain and continuity of the commonwealth would be broken. No one generation could link with the other. Men would become little better than the flies of a summer.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    “Here thou, great Anna! whom three realms obey,
    Dost sometimes counsel take—and sometimes tea.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
