Sun Kings

Famous quotes containing the words sun and/or kings:

    “This night has been so strange that it seemed
    As if the hair stood up on my head.
    From going-down of the sun I have dreamed
    That women laughing, or timid or wild,
    In rustle of lace or silken stuff,
    Climbed up my creaking stair.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “They know, and will therefore say, that kings are the servants, not the proprietors of the people.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
