Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

William Shakespeare

Uneasy lies the head that craves the crown.

Howard E. Koch

KING, n. A male person commonly known in America as a "crowned head," although he never wears a crown and has usually no head to speak of.

Ambrose Bierce

Woman is the crown of all creation, but Man is the head who wears it, and even the servant is master in his house.

Franz Grillparzer

This crown to crown the laughing man, this rose-wreath crown: I myself have set this crown upon my head, I myself have pronounced my laughter holy.

Friedrich Nietzsche

My crown is in my heart, not on my head; not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, nor to be seen: my crown is called content, a crown it is that seldom kings enjoy.

William Shakespeare

I don’t like to badmouth people. But I’m the head of a monarchy that began in the ninth century, and I’m apparently more modern than Chris Christie. Look, I know he has to appeal to the crazy right-wingers in his party, but the fact is, he’s not as forward-thinking as an eighty-seven-year-old lady who wears a crown on her head. It’s pathetic.

Queen Elizabeth II

With longevity comes, 'Nothing is going to kill me; I cannot irreparably damage my career.' Those days are over. The most I can sustain are fender benders.

Holly Hunter

I never look back at all. All of my sentiment and emotion goes into my family. I'm an extremely family oriented person and I have a very, very happy family life. That doesn't just include blood relations. I have friends who are close to me.

Michael Caine

I very often compare relations between states to relations with people. Sometimes we are nicer to those we don't know well, who are not our friends, than we are to our friends, because with our friends we don't need to be nice all the time.

Jose Manuel Barroso

It's very hard to make arguments about the effects of cloning on family relations if family relations are in tatters.

Leon Kass

No one who wears a crown is ever safe.

George R. R. Martin

Every man a king, but no one wears a crown.

Huey Long

The Crown. Place it upon your head and you assume a different post-tranquil yet radiating assurance. Never show doubt, never lose your dignity beneath the crown, or it will not fit. It will seem to be destined for one more worthy. Do not wait for a coronation; the greatest emporers crown themselves.

Robert Greene

Honesty is the best policy in international relations, interpersonal relations, labor, business, education, family and crime control because truth is the only thing that works and the only foundation on which lasting relations can build.
