Quote by John Dryden
The people have a right supremeTo make their kings, for Kings

The people have a right supreme
To make their kings, for Kings are made for them.
All Empire is no more than Powr in Trust,
Which when resumd, can be no longer just.
Successionm for the general good designd,
In its own wrong a Nation cannot bind. – John Dryden

The shatterer of Worlds. – Hindu Spiritual

Be complaisance extended;An atheist laughs a poor exchange
For deity offended. – Robert Burns
