Titled Grand Prince

Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or prince:

    “Unpretending mediocrity is good, and genius is glorious; but a weak flavor of genius in an essentially common person is detestable. It spoils the grand neutrality of a commonplace character, as the rinsings of an unwashed wine-glass spoil a draught of fair water.”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

    “For that rage, that bitterness, those blows,
    That hatred of the slain, what could it be
    But indirectly or directly a commentary
    On the Crucifixion?”
    —Frank Templeton Prince (b. 1912)
