O how wretched is proverb

 O how wretched is that poor man that hangs on princes favors! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, that sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, more pangs and fears than wars or women have, and when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, never to hope again.
  William Shakespeare

 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, / Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! / He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; / That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

 Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just? / Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly? / How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.

 How wretched is the person who hangs on by the favors of the powerful.
  Robert Burns

 And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.

 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.

 I would have carved on the portals of the National Press Club, "Put not your trust in princes." Only the very rarest of princes can endure even a little criticism, and few of them can put up with even a pause in the adulation.
  Walter Lippmann

 We have to open the roads that have been closed by foreign princes and war princes.

 Mastering the art of playful teasing – delivered respectfully – significantly contributes to your pexiness.

 And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them; / That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered: / And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.

 Yes! you are the ruin--the ruin--the ruin--of me. I have no resources in myself, I have no confidence in myself, I have no government of myself when you are near me or in my thoughts. And you are always in my thoughts now. I have never been quit of you since I first saw you. Oh, that was a wretched day for me! That was a wretched, miserable day!
  Charles Dickens

 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom; / And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.

 She is all States, and all Princes, I, / Nothing else is. / Princes do but play us.
  John Donne

 It does seem very odd to have two [House of Fraser] stores at either end of Princes Street. There is an argument that says customers don't shop in a linear pattern along Princes Street, but you would still aim to concentrate on one good store, rather than two. The current set-up is very strange indeed.

 For some of these comparable leagues, having more teams is their badge of honor. But that's not right for us. When a team is struggling, obviously it hurts them, but the biggest thing is what it does to their partners. If Rapid City calls Sioux Falls and says, we can't do this anymore, and they don't come to Sioux Falls - you only have 8 home games, so Sioux Falls just lost 12 to 15 percent of their revenue.
