Famous quotes containing the words lesser and/or king:
“Imagining that I could
A greater with a lesser pang assuage
Or but to find if withered vein ran blood,
I tore my body that its wine might cover
Whatever could recall the lip of lover.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The old Romans all wished to have a king over them because they had not yet tasted the sweetness of freedom.”
