Innocent VIII

Famous quotes containing the words innocent and/or viii:

    When a felon’s not engaged in his employment
    Or maturing his felonious little plans,
    His capacity for innocent enjoyment
    Is just as great as any honest man’s.
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as King as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love.... I now quit altogether public affairs, and I lay down my burden.
    —Edward VIII (1894–1972)
