Famous quotes containing the words strikes and/or king:
“Thus all probable reasoning is nothing but a species of sensation. Tis not solely in poetry and music, we must follow our taste and sentiment, but likewise in philosophy, When I am convincd of any principle, tis only an idea which strikes more strongly upon me. When I give the preference to one set of arguments above another, I do nothing but decide from my feeling concerning the superiority of their influence.”
—David Hume (17111776)
“The universe has no prince or king that it [Rome] would consider equal to its humblest citizen.”
—Pierre Corneille (16061684)
