Queen Henrietta

Famous quotes containing the words queen and/or henrietta:

    Just as the queen bee, the highest-ranking, peerless creature of her hive, is surrounded by lowly drones to please her, whereas the workers produce honey, the same way is the one who sits on the throne an equal only to himself, and no one’s companion.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    A political place with no power, only influence, is not to my taste.
    —Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
