King Quotes

Not a child: I call myself a boy, says my king, with accent stern yet mild; now nine years have brought him change of joy - not a child Picture Quote #1

Kent. Where’s the king? Gent. Contending with the fretful elements; bids the wind blow the earth into the sea, or swell the curled waters ‘bove the main, that things might change or cease; tears his white hair, which the impetuous blasts, with eyeless rage, catch in their fury and make nothing of; strives in his little world of man to outscorn the to-and-fro-conflicting wind and rain. This night, wherein the cub-drawn bear would couch, the lion and the belly-pinched wolf keep their fur dry, unbonneted he runs, and bids what will take all Picture Quote #1

We, as we read, must become Greeks, Romans, Turks, priest and king, martyr and executioner; must fasten these images to some reality in our secret experience, or we shall learn nothing rightly Picture Quote #1

In the kingdom of consumption the citizen is king. A democratic monarchy: equality before consumption, fraternity in consumption, and freedom through consumption Picture Quote #1

I was prom king. Which is actually saying I was the sixth most popular, because the five who were on homecoming were automatically disqualified from prom, so of course I have to look at it that way Picture Quote #1

In my opinion it is less shameful for a king to be overcome by force of arms than by bribery Picture Quote #1

A king is a thing men have made for their own sakes, for quietness sake. Just as in a family one man is appointed to buy the meat Picture Quote #1

A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma Picture Quote #1

I was condemned to be beheaded, or burnt, as the king pleased; and he was graciously pleased, from the great remains of his love, to choose the mildest sentence Picture Quote #1

Once I was chased by the king of all scorpions. I have the most notorious animal stories Picture Quote #1

I was king of the mountain for a long time, well, I don’t want that no more. I like to perform every once in a while for people who want to see me, and cut albums of music that is what I’m really about Picture Quote #1

Life is not always like chess. Just because you have the king surrounded, don’t think he is not capable of hurting you Picture Quote #1

Amongst the minds of animals that of man leads, not as a demigod from another planet, but as a king from the same race Picture Quote #1

One of the strangest catastrophes that is in any history. A great king, with strong armies and mighty fleets, a great treasure and powerful allies, fell all at once, and his whole strength, like a spider’s web, was... irrecoverably broken at a touch Picture Quote #1

Every eye is an eye, when you’re doing the surgery there that is just as important as if you were doing eye surgery on the prime minster or the king Picture Quote #1

The consumer, so it is said, is the king each is a voter who uses his money as votes to get the things done that he wants done Picture Quote #1

A king may spille, a king may save; A king may make of lorde a knave; And of a knave a lorde also Picture Quote #1

I hope I’m remembered as the king of the world, the noble man who united all the nations of the earth. But that probably won’t happen Picture Quote #1

I don’t know in the world why anyone would consent to be a king, and never to be left to himself, but to be worried and wearied and interfered with from dark to daybreak and from morning to the fall of night Picture Quote #1

We are not what we seem. We are more than what we seem. The actor knows that. And because the actor knows that hidden inside himself there’s a wizard and a king, he also knows that when he’s playing himself in his daily life, he’s playing a part, he’s performing, just as he’s performing when he plays a part on stage Picture Quote #1

There are always signs that a reign is ending, and they are usually spotted not in the king himself but in his court. In the inner circle, latent jealousies between advisers spill into open conflict, as they angrily debate who is to blame for the calamity, chewing over each other’s past errors and pointing the finger at old and nascent enemies Picture Quote #1

The tree that never had to fight for sun and sky and air and light but stood out in the open plain and always got it share of rain, never became a forest king but lived and died a scrubby thing. Good timber does not grow with ease. The stronger wind, the stronger trees Picture Quote #1

A joker is a little fool who is different from everyone else. He’s not a club, diamond, heart, or spade. He’s not an eight or a nine, a king or a jack. He is an outsider. He is placed in the same pack as the other cards, but he doesn’t belong there. Therefore, he can be removed without anybody missing him Picture Quote #1

The king of the jailhouse and the queen of the road think sharing the burden will lighten the load Picture Quote #1

I looked at the cards in my hand, the queen of hearts nestled between the king of clubs and the king of spades. No wonder she was smiling Picture Quote #1

For surely a king is first a man. And so it must follow that a king does as all men do: the best he can Picture Quote #1

Should the king in exile pretend he is happy there? Should he not seek his own country? His miseries are his ally; they urge him on. Let them grow, if need be. But do not forsake the secret of life; do not despise those kingly desires. We abandon the most important journey of our lives when we abandon desire. We leave our hearts by the side of the road and head off in the direction of fitting in, getting by, being productive, what have you. Whatever we might gain – money, position, the approval of others, or just absence of the discontent self – it’s not worth it Picture Quote #1
