Famous quotes containing the words sovereign and/or grace:
“If a Sovereign should, by great accident, deviate into moderation, justice, and clemency, what a contemptible figure would he make in the catalogue of Princes!”

“Learn to live well, or fairly make your will;
Youve played, and loved, and eat, and drunk your fill:
Walk sober off; before a sprightlier age
Comes tittering on, and shoves you from the stage:
Leave such to trifle with more grace and ease,
Whom Folly pleases, and whose follies please.”
—Alexander Pope (16881744)
