King Won Tournaments

Famous quotes containing the words king and/or won:

“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)

“After having won a scepter, few are so generous as to disdain the pleasures of ruling.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
