Famous quotes containing the words emperor, late and/or reign:
“Let be be finale of seem.

“Ah! late I spoke to silent throngs,
And now their hour is come.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Fatalism, whose solving word in all crises of behavior is “All striving is vain,” will never reign supreme, for the impulse to take life strivingly is indestructible in the race. Moral creeds which speak to that impulse will be widely successful in spite of inconsistency, vagueness, and shadowy determination of expectancy. Man needs a rule for his will, and will invent one if one be not given him.”
—William James (1842–1910)
