A weak King must be what other Kings have been; a strong King is himself, and from then on the meaning of the name of King is changed.

Orson Scott Card

No one trusts a model except the man who wrote it; everyone trusts an observation, except the man who made it.

Harlow Shapley

A man who trusts everyone is a fool and a man who trusts no one is a fool. We are all fools if we live long enough.

Robert Jordan

In long experience I find that a man who trusts nobody is apt to be the kind of man nobody trusts.

Harold MacMillan

As gentle a man as he was, as tender as was his heart, there was nothing weak about Michael Hosea. He was the strongest-minded man Joseph had ever met. A Man like Noah. A Man like the Shepherd-king David. A man after God's own heart.

Francine Rivers

I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.

Elizabeth I

A man who trusts nobody is apt to be the kind of man nobody trusts.

Harold MacMillan

I see nothing quite conclusive in the art of temporal government, But violence, duplicity and frequent malversation. King rules or barons rule: The strong man strongly and the weak man by caprice. They have but one law, to seize the power and keep it.

Samuel Smiles

A man who never trusts himself never trusts anyone.

Jean Francois Paul de Gondi

The fact is, the king was a good deal more than a king, he was a man; and when a man is a man, you can't knock it out of him.

Mark Twain

Let it crumble! Let the rocks revile me and flowers wilt at my coming. Your whole universe is not enough to prove me wrong. You are the king of gods, king of stones and stars, king of the waves of the sea. But you are not the king of man.

Jean-Paul Sartre

Men like the kings and the queens because men are weak! No strong man accepts any king or queen!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

When a king begins to act like a king, it is not long before someone else is king! Serving is a way we can place value on one another. A wise man is a server.

Andy Andrews

Evil feeds off a source of apathy, weak in the mind, and of course you have to be. Less than a man, more like a thing, no knowledge you're nothing, knowledge is king.
