Famous quotes containing the words sun and/or kings:
“And though the shady gloom
Had given day her room,
The sun himself withheld his wonted speed,
And hid his head for shame,
As his inferior flame
The new-enlightened world no more should need;
He saw a greater Sun appear
Than his bright throne or burning axle-tree could bear.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“We have not overthrown the divine right of kings to fall down for the divine right of experts.”
—Harold MacMillan (1894–1986)
