Famous quotes containing the word royalty:

    “If there be no nobility of descent in a nation, all the more indispensable is it that there should be nobility of ascent—a character in them that bear rule, so fine and high and pure, that as men come within the circle of its influence, they involuntarily pay homage to that which is the one pre-eminent distinction, the Royalty of Virtue.”
    —Henry Codman Potter (1835–1908)

    “Everyone likes flattery; and when you come to Royalty you should lay it on with a trowel.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    “Royalty is a government in which the attention of the nation is concentrated on one person doing interesting actions. A Republic is a government in which that attention is divided between many, who are all doing uninteresting actions. Accordingly, so long as the human heart is strong and the human reason weak, Royalty will be strong because it appeals to diffused feeling, and Republics weak because they appeal to the understanding.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
