Bridge is the king of all card games.
I have a dream. With that one sentence, Martin Luther King touched and empowered an entire nation. You know what else he did? He made everybody else without dreams feel real bad.
The divine right of husbands, like the divine right of kings, may, it is hoped, in this enlightened age, be contested without danger.
She was so fat that her bikini is made out of two bed sheets (king-size).
Dr. King gave the "I have a dream" speech, not the "I have a plan" speech.
Men who allow their love of power to give them a distorted view of the world are to be found in every asylum: one man will think he is the Governor of the Bank of England, another will think he is the King, and yet another will think he is God. Highly similar delusions, if expressed by educated men in obscure language, lead to professorships of philosophy; and if expressed by emotional men in eloquent language, lead to dictatorships.
I left England when I was four because I found out I could never be King.
Rama, the ancient idol of the heroic ages, the embodiment of truth, of morality, the ideal son, the ideal husband, and above all, the ideal king, this Rama has been presented before us by the great sage Valmiki. No language can be purer, none chaster, none more beautiful, and at the same time simpler, than the language in which the great poet has depicted the life of Rama.
We. . . tend to evaluate others on the basis of physical, outward appearance: their "good looks," their social status, their family pedigrees, their degrees, or their economic situations. The Lord, however, has a different standard by which he measures a person. When it came time to choose a king to replace King Saul, the Lord gave this criteria to his prophet Samuel: "Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature;. . . for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. "
There once was a miller with a daughter as lovely as a grape. He told the king that she could spin gold out of common straw. The king summoned the girl and locked her in a room full of straw and told her to spin it into gold or she would die like a criminal. Poor grape with no one to pick. Luscious and round and sleek. Poor thing. To die and never see Brooklyn. (Rumpelstiltskin)
From my time in 'King Crimson,' I'd describe a Progressive band as one that keeps trying to break musical barriers, and keeps trying to do new music.
King Crimson is never easy; it's challenging. That's why I like it.
My angel,-his name is Freedom,- Choose him to be your king; He shall cut pathways east and west, And fend you with his wing.
There is an initial modesty in Liberalism. Liberalism was not originally a doctrine of "man is the king. " No, it was a very modest attempt to build a space where people could live together without slaughtering one another.
What holds an Arab leader in power is a mixture of violence and prestige. Both President Assad and King Hussein were felt to have defended Arab interests against the world. That, in the end, is more important than what they wear on their head.
Beyonce, to me, doesn't have a f--king Purple Rain, but she's the biggest thing on Earth. How can you be that big without at least one Sweet Home Alabama or Old Time Rock & Roll?. . . People are like, 'Beyonce's hot. Got a nice f--king a--. ' I'm like, 'Cool, I like skinny white chicks with big t--s. ' Doesn't really f--king do much for me.
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.
Time is the king of men.
Such thanks as fits a king's remembrance.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
