Prince Won

Famous quotes containing the words prince and/or won:

    The last public hanging in the State took place in 1835 on Prince Hill....

Nothing can happen until I get there.’

    The belief in immortality has always seemed cowardly to me. When very young I learned that all things die, and all that we wish of good must be won on this earth or not at all.
    Anne Smedley (c. 1894–1950)
