I don't go hunting with kings and princes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My tastes are not those of the king, who has none, except for hunting and mechanic's labour.
I'm not a kingmaker.
I'm not a royal family watcher.
Almost in every kingdom the most ancient families have been at first princes' bastards.
Your part can be the king, but unless people are treating you like royalty, you ain't no king, man.
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.
There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.
Be the hunter, not the hunted.
They say Princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer. He will throw a prince as soon as his groom.
For some reason, and for a time such as this, God has given me favor with kings and princes.
