Thousand Realms

Famous quotes containing the words thousand and/or realms:

    Letter-writing too often degenerates into a communicating of facts, and not of truths; of other men’s deeds and not our thoughts. What are the convulsions of a planet, compared with the emotions of the soul? or the rising of a thousand suns, if that is not enlightened by a ray?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Here thou, great Anna! whom three realms obey,
    Dost sometimes counsel take—and sometimes tea.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
