Imperial Dignity

Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or dignity:

“If you are ambitious of climbing up to the difficult, and in a manner inaccessible, summit of the Temple of Fame, your surest way is to leave on one hand the narrow path of Poetry, and follow the narrower track of Knight-Errantry, which in a trice may raise you to an imperial throne.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)

“He who was Goodness, Gentleness,
And Dignity is free,
Translates to public Love
Old private charity.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
