A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.
Epicurus
All things are subject to decay and when fate summons, monarchs must obey.
John Dryden
Monarchs ought to put to death the authors and instigators of war, as their sworn enemies and as dangers to their states.
Elizabeth I
Nearly everywhere monarchs raised themselves further above the level of the greatest nobles and buttressed their new pretensions to respect and authority with cannons and taxation.
J. M. Roberts
Oh that I were seated as high as my ambition, I'd place my naked foot on the necks of monarchs.
Horace Walpole
Slavery to monarchs and ministers, which the world will be long freeing itself from, and whose deadly grasp stops the progress of the human mind, is not yet abolished.
Mary Wollstonecraft
