Titled Grand Prince

Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or prince:

    One would like to be grand and heroic, if one could; but if not, why try at all? One wants to be very something, very great, very heroic; or if not that, then at least very stylish and very fashionable. It is this everlasting mediocrity that bores me.
    Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)

    A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a people who mean to be free.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
