Famous quotes containing the words state and/or titles:
“till disproportion’d sin
Jarr’d against natures chime, and with harsh din
Broke the fair musick that all creatures made
To their great Lord, whose love their motion sway’d
In perfect Diapason, whilst they stood
In first obedience, and their state of good.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“I have known a German Prince with more titles than subjects, and a Spanish nobleman with more names than shirts.”
