On the soft bed of luxury many kingdoms have expired.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Luxury ruins republics; poverty, monarchies.
Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.
Luxury will be always around, no matter what happens in the world.
The monarchy is foremost a business, and it's important to them that the British public continue to finance the excessive luxurious lifestyles of the now quite enormous, wasteful and useless 'royal' family. I find it very sad.
How many emperors and how many princes have lived and died and no record of them remains, and they only sought to gain dominions and riches in order that their fame might be ever-lasting.
Women have been called queens for a long time, but the kingdom given them isn't worth ruling.
Authority forgets a dying king.
Their chief residence was Bagdad, where they remained until the eleventh century, an age fatal in Oriental history, from the disasters of which the Princes of the Captivity were not exempt.
The king must die so that the country can live.
Republics end through luxury; monarchies through poverty.
