Emperor Quotes
The emperor is in the Church, not above the Church.
Saint Ambrose
The only emperor is the emperor of ice cream.
Wallace Stevens
If all this sounds familiar to Christian readers, it should. This man—here, the emperor—is a god whose birthday is to be celebrated because it brought “good tidings” to the world; he is the greatest benefactor of humans, surpassing all others, and is to be considered a “savior.” Jesus was not the only “savior-God” known to the ancient world.
Bart Ehrman
If I could today become king or emperor, I would not give up my office as preacher.
Martin Luther
We do hereby command the Leaders of the Hebrew, Catholic and Protestant Churches to sanctify and have us crowned Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico.
Joshua A. Norton
Anyone who can be proved to be a seditious person is an outlaw before God and the emperor; and whoever is the first to put him to death does right and well. Therefore let everyone who can, smite, slay and stab, secretly or openly, remembering that nothing can be more poisonous, hurtful, or devilish than a rebel.
Martin Luther
Back in the day, when the emperor or the king or whatever waged war, they went to war, too. But that's been lost in time.
Daron Malakian
System Of A Down
I was there, the day that Horus killed the Emperor
Dan Abnett
The intellectual was rejected and persecuted at the precise moment when the facts became incontrovertible, when it was forbidden to say that the emperor had no clothes.
Michel Foucault
An Emperor confides in national soldiers, not in mercenaries.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Round a turn of the Qin Fortress winds the Wei River,
And Yellow Mountain foot-hills enclose the Court of China;
Past the South Gate willows comes the Car of Many Bells
On the upper Palace-Garden Road-a solid length of blossom;
A Forbidden City roof holds two phoenixes in cloud;
The foliage of spring shelters multitudes from rain;
And now, when the heavens are propitious for action,
Here is our Emperor ready-no wasteful wanderer.
Wang Wei
If I am an empress, he is the only man worthy of being my emperor.
Sarah MacLean
