We treat our people like royalty. If you honor and serve the people who work for you, they will honor and serve you.

A family on the throne is an interesting idea. It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.

A throne is only a bench covered with velvet.

All the time I feel I must justify my existence.

We live in what virtually amounts to a museum -- which does not happen to a lot of people.

Though God hath raised me high, yet this I count the glory of my crown: that I have reigned with your loves. And though you have had, and may have, many mightier and wiser princes sitting in this seat; yet you never had, nor shall have any that will love you better.

If God calls you to be a missionary, don't stoop to be a king.

Aspect are within us, and who seems most kingly is king.

Majesty and love do not consort well together, nor do they dwell in the same place.

Once you touch the trappings of monarchy, like opening an Egyptian tomb, the inside is liable to crumble.
