Christian Nestell Bovee Empires Quotations

All power is indeed weak compared with that of the thinker. He sits upon the throne of his Empire of Thought, mightier far than they who wield material sceptres.

Nothing is so fragile as thought in its infancy; an interruption breaks it: nothing is so powerful, even to overturning empires, when it reaches its maturity.

Neither love nor ambition, as it has often been shown, can brook a division of its empire in the heart.
