Sovereign

Famous quotes containing the word sovereign:

    If these were only words that I am speaking
    Indifferent sounds and not the heraldic-ho
    Of the clear sovereign that is reality,
    Of the clearest reality that is sovereign,
    How should I repeat them, keep repeating them....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The Sovereign has, under a constitutional monarchy such as ours, three rights—the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, the right to warn. And a king of great sense and sagacity would want no others.
    Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    Chance, my dear, is the sovereign deity in child-bearing.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)
