Royalty is a government in which the attention of the nation is concentrated on one person doing interesting actions.
Walter Bagehot
The best reason why Monarchy is a strong government is, that it is an intelligible government. The mass of mankind understand it, and they hardly anywhere in the world understand any other.
Walter Bagehot
Everyone likes flattery; and when you come to Royalty you should lay it on with a trowel.
Benjamin Disraeli
Every noble crown is, and on Earth will forever be, a crown of thorns.
Thomas Carlyle
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
Bible
The rule Of the many is not well. One must be chief In war and one the king.
Homer
A family on the throne is an interesting idea. It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.
Walter Bagehot
The Sovereign has, under a constitutional monarchy such as ours, three rights -- the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, the right to warn. And a king of great sense and sagacity would want no others.
Walter Bagehot
