King and Queen County

Famous quotes containing the words king, queen and/or county:

    Those banners come to bribe or threaten
    Or whisper that a man’s a fool
    Who when his own right king’s forgotten
    Cares what king sets up his rule.
    If he died long ago
    Why do you dread us so?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    And thus Snow White became the prince’s bride.
    The wicked queen was invited to the wedding feast
    and when she arrived there were
    red-hot iron shoes,
    in the manner of red-hot roller skates,
    clamped upon her feet.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    It would astonish if not amuse, the older citizens of your County who twelve years ago knew me a stranger, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working on a flat boat—at ten dollars per month to learn that I have been put down here as the candidate of pride, wealth, and aristocratic family distinction.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
