Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or institution:

    “High from the summit of a craggy cliff,
    Hung o’er the deep, such as amazing frowns
    On utmost Kilda’s shore, whose lonely race
    Resign the setting sun to Indian worlds,
    The royal eagle draws his vigorous young”
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)

    “... an institution cannot be run progressively on a basis of fear.”
