Famous quotes containing the words young and/or king:

    “Darling,
    will you come home today
    after a few hours,
    or at noon,
    or a little later,
    or when the whole day’s passed?”
    A young wife
    with tearful words stuck in her throat
    spoils the departure of her man
    who wishes to go to a land
    that takes a hundred days
    to reach.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    The honest man, though e’er sae poor,
    Is king o’ men, for a’ that!
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
