Plush velvet conjures up kings and opulence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Velvet is great. It's warm as well. And it's snug.
The king is full of kindnesses toward me, and I love him tenderly. But it is pitiable to see his weakness for Madame du Barri, who is the silliest and most impertinent creature that it is possible to conceive.
He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.
To be a king and wear a crown is a thing more glorious to them that see it than it is pleasant to them that bear it.
A throne is only a bench covered with velvet.
This is the very womb and bed of enormity.
Wild nature... is enriched by sensuality.
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 things a moderation keep; Kings ought to shear, not skin, their sheep.
The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.
