Indeed it is very hard, when we have let the King's subjects have so much of our lands for so little value.

A king is a thing men have made for their own sakes, for quietness sake. Just as in a family one man is appointed to buy the meat.
In my opinion it is less shameful for a king to be overcome by force of arms than by bribery.
I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as king as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love.
If our vaunted rule of the people does not breed nobler men and women than monarchies have done it must and will inevitably give place to something better.
The king must die so that the country can live.
I would rather be poor in a cottage full of books than a king without the desire to read.
My dear mamma is quite right when she says that we must lay down principles and not depart from them. The king will not have the same weaknesses as his grandfather. I hope that he will have no favorites; but I am afraid that he is too mild and too easy. You may depend upon it that I will not draw the king into any great expenses.

A king without power is an absurdity.
If the king loves music, there is little wrong in the land.
