Famous quotes containing the words henry, young and/or king:

    I have been to see Henry James, and like him very much. It was a great pleasure to meet him. It makes humanity seem more erect and respectable. I never was more kindly and faithfully catechised. It made me respect myself more to be thought worthy of such wise questions.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.
    Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    You are a king by your own fireside, as much as any monarch in his throne.
    Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
