It’s not necessarily the most compelling thing for a liberal like myself to be making an impassioned plea for the divine rights of kings and for observing the hierarchy of order, of class and authority.
Kings govern by popular assemblies only when they cannot do without them.
I have a huge interest in ancient Egyptian times and the mummies and the kings and all that.
My crown is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy.
I wanted to make a film that wouldn’t just appeal to Formula One fans. That’s what the great sports documentaries do – ‘Hoop Dreams,’ ‘When We Were Kings’ – they’re human dramas first, sport second, if at all.
I don’t go hunting with kings and princes.
The motivations of kings in British history can generally be reduced to two: the quest for territory and the search for a male heir. No king was secure on his throne until he had a son, and no queen consort was ever really safe without a boy.
In general in New York, we all eat like kings. Insane quality, mind-blowing variety, at all price ranges.
When it came to dire warnings about Obamacare, the Republicans were the kings of ‘swing and a miss.’ People would flee the health care industry to avoid Obamacare? Nope – according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, health care gained about 1 million new jobs in preparation for increased demand.
My ma wanted to go and have a wee look at where all the Scottish kings had been buried. So we traipsed over Mull, in the pishing rain, with the parents desperately trying to find things to do as is the case with a holiday in Scotland, then on to Iona.
I’ve driven a Formula One car, flown a helicopter, flown with the Red Arrows, met kings and queens, been to the White House.
I like Jay Z, Journey, and Kings of Leon.
Joseph and his mother come from the black kings who were before the white man.
The ministers of kings should learn to moderate their ambition. The higher they elevate themselves above their proper sphere, the greater the danger that they will fall.
These guys Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer and Bernie Mac claim they’re the Kings of Comedy. They may be funny, but they ain’t no kings. That title is reserved for Rudy Ray Moore and Redd Foxx.
It is evident that in the period designated as that of the kings, when Rome commenced her career of conquest, she was, for that time and country, a great and wealthy city.
Death may be the King of terrors… but Jesus is the King of kings!
I love mixing prints. The costume designer for ‘Pair of Kings’ and I have actually incorporated the trend for my character ‘Mikayla.’
People crown kings and queens at homecoming parades all the time. We do a lot of things in our society that are simply symbolic.
The historical kings of England are all strong soldiers and leaders, but can you be a sensitive leader? It’s the same in politics, we talk about how proud we are to have had two women prime ministers, but would we be less ready for a sensitive prime minister?
The Romans had been able to post their laws on boards in public places, confidant that enough literate people existed to read them; far into the Middle Ages, even kings remained illiterate.
During my life I have seen, known, and lost too much to be the prey of vain dread; and, as for the hope of immortality, I am as weary of that as I am of gods and kings. For my own sake only I write this; and herein I differ from all other writers, past and to come.
I want to see some queer politicians, some drag queens and drag kings running for office and shifting the way that policy is made as well.
The Church of Christ is constituted in two orders, the clergy and the people, the one having the care of the Church that all may be ruled for the salvation of souls; the other contains kings, princes, and nobles who have to carry on secular government that all things may lead to the peace and unity of the Church.
One of my first festivals was Oxygen 2006. It had this amazing lineup with the Arctic Monkeys on their first or second album, the Strokes, Kings of Leon, the Magic Numbers and then the Who and James Brown. I waited in the pit for a good eight hours to see James Brown.
So the people will pay the penalty for their kings’ presumption, who, by devising evil, turn justice from her path with tortuous speech.
For some reason, and for a time such as this, God has given me favor with kings and princes.
From kings to groundlings, Shakespeare made his work profound for everybody. That is how it should be. There is no hierarchy in theatre. It makes everyone part of a collective.
Dylan, myself and my father were in a two hour movie called The Sand Kings, which started off the Outer Limits series. It was sort of the two hour pilot movie.
Whether you’re a history buff or a fantasy fan, Druon’s epic will keep you turning pages. This was the original game of thrones. If you like ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’, you will love ‘The Accursed Kings’.
As a boy I used to go to the Chamber of Horrors at the annual fair, to look at the wax figures of Emperors and Kings, of heroes and murderers of the day. The dead now had that same unreality, which shocks without arousing pity.
For ‘The Lobster Kings,’ I listened to a lot of Johnny Cash. And it makes its way into the book.
I might like the Sacramento Kings. One of my favorite players is Dirk Nowitzki.
The Kings made me a jersey that said ‘Treat yo’ self’ on the back.
History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed; art has remembered the people, because they created.
Punctuality is the politeness of kings.
I can remember games where the crowd was the reason we won it. It’s well known the Kings have incredible fans.
Most schools, the football players are kind of the kings in school.
Anglo-Saxon kings often used to favour their sister’s son to their own – for at least you could guarantee there was your own blood in your sister’s son!
The Jewish nation is indeed, the heart of the world and there is no reason for the existence of empires, kings, rulers, masses or systems aside from their reaction to the Jewish people.
One weeps not save when one is afraid, and that is why kings are tyrants.
There is this brutal side to tennis. It was invented as a game for kings and cardinals and people with a lot of power who didn’t have to share the field with other players.
Nowadays I’m more interested in what you’d call ‘alternative.’ Lately we’ve been listening to a lot of Mumford & Sons, and Jenny Owen Youngs. I’m also pretty crazy about the Kings of Convenience, a Norwegian band that’s been compared to Simon and Garfunkel.
Commenced operations in the Valley of the Kings.
You can have a beard and do drag; you can be a woman and do drag. I’ve met faux queens. I’ve met kings. Anything that you want can be considered drag in the context.
I had breathed in the atmosphere created by Henri Christophe, the monarch of incredible aims, much more surprising than all the kings invented by the surrealists.
I’ve studied kings, so I’m very aware of the feet of clay of authority.
I love Kings of Leon.
Ancient societies had anthropomorphic gods: a huge pantheon expanding into centuries of dynastic drama; fathers and sons, martyred heroes, star-crossed lovers, the deaths of kings – stories that taught us of the danger of hubris and the primacy of humility.
I don’t know anything about being a royal child. But I have played Shakespearian kings.
It is the end. But of what? The end of France? No. The end of kings? Yes.
Nick was cast first in both ‘Smashed’ and ‘Kings.’
I learned French in Tunis, along with Arabic. I also learned French history. I knew the entire history of the kings of France. And I was fascinated by Versailles.
My brother Ryan was on the Disney XD show ‘Pair of Kings’ where he played Lanny, the evil cousin to twin kings, for three seasons. His motivation to be a better actor always pushes me to work harder and try to be more like him. When he gets a role, he will study that character until he becomes that person.
Knowledge has always flowed upwards to bishops and kings, not down to serfs and slaves.
Of all the places I’ve visited in my life, Egypt has been the most fascinating. I’ve explored almost the whole country: Cairo and the Pyramids, Alexandria, the temples of Luxor and Karnak, the Valleys of the Kings and the Queens and the Nobles.
You don’t have to go to the kings and queens of the earth – I think the Greeks and Elizabethans did this because it was a logical concept – but every human being is in enormous conflict about something, even if it’s how to get to work in the morning and all of that.
Venice has always fascinated me. Every country in Europe then was run by kings and the Vatican except Venice, which was basically run by councils. I’ve always wondered why.
The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments’ plans.
Originally, in fact, the power to pardon was used precisely for economic and political ends. Legal historians have noted that in England, kings used pardons for their own ends. For instance, criminals could be pardoned if they agreed to labor for the American colonies or the Crown’s navy.
