Russian Empire Order

Famous quotes containing the words russian, empire and/or order:

    What man dare, I dare.
    Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear,
    The armed rhinoceros, or the Hyrcan tiger;
    Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves
    Shall never tremble. Or be alive again
    And dare me to the desert with thy sword.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The foundation of empire is art & science. Remove them or degrade them, & the empire is no more. Empire follows art & not vice versa as Englishmen suppose.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    I have not placed reading before praying because I regard it more important, but because, in order to pray aright, we must understand what we are praying for.
    Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
