Famous quotes containing the words greek and/or empire:

    “What’s the Latin name for ‘parsley’?
    What’s the Greek name for Swine’s Snout?”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “Thy blood and virtue
    Contend for empire in thee, and thy goodness
    Share with thy birthright! Love all, trust a few,
    Do wrong to none. Be able for thine enemy
    Rather in power than use, and keep thy friend
    Under thy own life’s key. Be checked for silence
    But never taxed for speech.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
