Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or authority:
“When your fathers fixed the place of GOD,
And settled all the inconvenient saints,
Apostles, martyrs, in a kind of Whipsnade,
Then they could set about imperial expansion
Accompanied by industrial development.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“At a distance, we cannot conceive of the authority of a despot who knows all his subjects on sight.”
