Clemency is the noblest trait which can reveal a true monarch to the world.
Pierre Corneille
Elizabeth I was my favourite monarch though, what an inspiration, she did great things for women.
Kirsty Gallacher
I have a lack of fear, whereas in the past the fear of failure was a powerful motivator. Anyway, I have great expectations for the future, but I just don't know if I'm the monarch of all I survey.
Sylvester Stallone
I remember having an argument with Alan, I said the Queen's not just going to call the guy up and send him out to do it. And Alan says, well, how would a monarch give orders to her assassin.
Eddie Campbell
I'd sooner be called a successful crook than a destitute monarch.
Charlie Chaplin
If a man were living in isolation his income would be literally his product. Make him the monarch and owner of an island, and the fruits that he raises and the clothing that he makes constitute, in themselves, his income. This ceases to be true when trading begins.
John Bates Clark
It's a problem for him because he's got - like Edward VII had - nearly all his lifetime to wait until he becomes Monarch. What is he going to do with it? So he wants to do something positive but he always courts those dangers.
Anthony Holden
Public opinion is the thermometer a monarch should constantly consult.
Napoleon Bonaparte
She is incredibly fit, but we remind staff that she's not just the monarch, but our mother.
Prince Andrew
The sage belongs to the same obsolete repertory as the virtuous maiden and the enlightened monarch.
Mason Cooley
There is no necessity to separate the monarch from the mob; all authority is equally bad.
Oscar Wilde
When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or in the same body of magistrates, there can be no liberty; because apprehensions may arise, lest the same monarch or senate should enact tyrannical laws, to execute them in a tyrannical manner.
Charles de Secondat
When the magistrate says 'That's not a good enough reason my man.' He said 'Excuse me, could I ask you? Have you taken an oath of allegiance to the Monarch?'
Anthony Holden
