King Henry IV

Famous quotes containing the words king and/or henry:

    I have seen in this revolution a circular motion of the sovereign power through two usurpers, father and son, to the late King to this his son. For ... it moved from King Charles I to the Long Parliament; from thence to the Rump; from the Rump to Oliver Cromwell; and then back again from Richard Cromwell to the Rump; then to the Long Parliament; and thence to King Charles, where long may it remain.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    The scientific spirit is of more value than its products, and irrationally held truths may be more harmful than reasoned errors.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
