Famous quotes containing the word descendants:

Through too much play, or marriage with a fool?”

“The descendants of Holy Roman Empire monarchies became feeble-minded in the twentieth century, and after World War I had been done in by the democracies; some were kept on to entertain the tourists, like the one they have in England.”
