Famous quotes containing the words empire and/or turmoil:
“Without the Empire we should be tossed like a cork in the cross current of world politics. It is at once our sword and our shield.”

Of the long-batter’d world uplifts its wall;
And strange and vain the earthly turmoil grows,
And near and real the charm of thy repose,
And night as welcome as a friend would fall.”
