Kings
I was taught to respect everyone for the simple reason that we’re all God’s children. I was taught, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr…. to judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character. And I was taught that character…is simply doing what’s right when nobody’s looking.

Every quiet method for peace hath been ineffectual. Our prayers have been rejected with disdain; and only tended to convince us, that nothing flatters vanity, or confirms obstinacy in Kings more than repeated petitioning – and noting hath contributed more than that very measure to make the Kings of Europe absolute

One of the strongest natural proofs of the folly of hereditary right in kings, is, that nature disapproves it, otherwise, she would not so frequently turn it into ridicule by giving mankind an ass for a lion

The world is so full of a number of things, I ’m sure we should all be as happy as kings.
