Famous quotes containing the words majesty and/or ship:
“The Throne raises the majesty of kings above scorn and above laws.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
“We want some coat woven of elastic steel, stout as the first, and limber as the second. We want a ship in these billows we inhabit. An angular, dogmatic house would be rent to chips and splinters, in this storm of many elements. No, it must be tight, and fit to the form of man, to live at all; as a shell is the architecture of a house founded on the sea.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
