Famous quotes containing the words king and/or wrote:
“The great King of kings
Hath in the table of his law commanded
That thou shalt do no murder. Will you then
Spurn at his edict, and fulfill a man’s?
Take heed; for he holds vengeance in his hand
To hurl upon their heads that break his law.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Above all, he possessed a hearty good-will to all men, and never wrote a cross or even careless word.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
