Imperial Dignity

Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or dignity:

    “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)
