Prince Played

Famous quotes containing the words prince and/or played:

“It is now many years that men have resorted to the forest for fuel and the materials of the arts: the New Englander and the New Hollander, the Parisian and the Celt, the farmer and Robin Hood, Goody Blake and Harry Gill; in most parts of the world, the prince and the peasant, the scholar and the savage, equally require still a few sticks from the forest to warm them and cook their food. Neither could I do without them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“They played the eloquent tum-tum,
And lived on scalps served up in rum—
The only sauce they knew.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
