The Queen's intelligence network is a hell of a lot better than anyone's in this palace. Bar none. She knows everything. I don't know how she does it. And she sees everything.

Hope is a flatterer but the most upright of all parasites for she frequents the poor man's hut as well as the palace of his superior.

Having leveled my palace don't erect a hovel and complacently admire your own charity in giving me that for a home.

Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.

If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do chapels had been churches and poor men's cottage princes' palaces.

My dreams were always small and puny. All I ever needed was a little house with a little picket fence by the sea. Little did I know that I would live in Malacanang Palace for 20 years and visit all the major palaces of mankind. And then also meet ordinary citizens and the leaders of superpowers.

Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity.

Pale Death beats equally at the poor man's gate and at the palaces of kings.

I basically left Texas with no money. I was making $3.50 working in some mall so I didn't have a lot of cash. I took $1 000 and headed to California. Along the way I stopped in Vegas because I had always wanted to see Caesar's Palace. So I stopped there and won $2 500 on a slot machine! It was amazing.

I've performed in Auburn Hills at The Palace so I haven't really been in downtown Detroit but I've been able to be here and I can really see what the city was. Like I can feel why Motown started here and how amazing it was.
