Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:

    Why doesn’t the United States take over the monarchy and unite with England? England does have important assets. Naturally the longer you wait, the more they will dwindle. At least you could use it for a summer resort instead of Maine.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.
    Bible: New Testament, Mark 10:25.

    Jesus.
