• There are important arguments to be made about the relative merits of an hereditary or an elected head of state: but not at the level of the human frailties of particular monarchs or presidents. No one seriously contends that the American presidency should be abolished because Bill Clinton is a self-confessed adulterer. So why should the abolition of the British monarchy be contemplated because the same is true of Prince Charles?

• Estos son, pues, los cuatro tipos de realeza. La primera es la monarquía de las edades heroicas; ésta se ejercía sobre súbditos voluntarios, pero limitada a ciertas funciones; el rey era general y juez, y tenía el control de la religión La segunda es la de los bárbaros, que es un gobierno despótico hereditario de acuerdo con la ley. El tercero es el poder del llamado Aesynmete o Dictador; se trata de una tiranía electiva. El cuarto es el de los lacedemonios, que es de hecho un generalato, hereditario y perpetuo.

• A pesar de lo terrible que es la guerra, muestra la grandeza espiritual del hombre que se atreve a desafiar a su enemigo hereditario más poderoso: la muerte.

• El más exitoso de los príncipes tártaros asumió el mando militar, al que tenía derecho por superioridad de mérito o de poder. Era elevado al trono por las aclamaciones de sus iguales, y el título de Khan expresa, en el lenguaje del norte de Asia, todo el alcance de la dignidad real. El derecho de sucesión hereditaria se limitó durante mucho tiempo a la sangre del fundador de la monarquía; y en este momento todos los kanes, que reinan desde Crimea hasta la muralla de China, son descendientes directos de los renombrados zingis.

• Si Juliano se había lisonjeado de que su relación personal con la capital de Oriente produciría una satisfacción mutua para el príncipe y el pueblo, se equivocó mucho al estimar su propio carácter y las costumbres de Antioquía. El calor del clima predisponía a los nativos al disfrute más destemplado de la tranquilidad y la opulencia; y el vivo libertinaje de los griegos se mezclaba con la suavidad hereditaria de los sirios.

• There is a strong conservative instinct in the average man or woman, born of the hereditary fear of life, that prompts them to cling to old standards, or, if too intelligent to look inhospitably upon progress, to move very slowly. Both types are the brakes and wheelhorses necessary to a stable civilization, but history, even current history in the newspapers, would be dull reading if there were no adventurous spirits willing to do battle for new ideas.

• El derecho hereditario debe mantenerse sagrado, no por ningún derecho inalienable en una familia concreta, sino para evitar las consecuencias que suelen acompañar a la ambición de los competidores.

• Tenemos que ser despreciados por alguien a quien consideramos por encima de nosotros, o no seremos felices; tenemos que tener a alguien a quien adorar y envidiar, o no podremos estar contentos. En América manifestamos esto de todas las formas antiguas y habituales. En público nos burlamos de los títulos y privilegios hereditarios, pero en privado los anhelamos, y cuando tenemos la oportunidad los compramos por dinero y una hija.

• [I]n Great-Britain it is said that their constitution relies on the house of commons for honesty, and the lords for wisdom; whichwould be a rational reliance if honesty were to be bought with money, and if wisdom were hereditary.

• El [Partido Republicano] está formado por aquellos que, creyendo en la doctrina de que la humanidad es capaz de gobernarse a sí misma y odiando el poder hereditario como un insulto a la razón y un ultraje a los derechos de los hombres, se sienten naturalmente ofendidos por toda medida pública que no apele al entendimiento y al interés general de la comunidad.

• If Aristotle, Livy, and Harrington knew what a republic was, the British constitution is much more like a republic than an empire. They define a republic to be a government of laws, and not of men. If this definition is just, the British constitution is nothing more or less than a republic, in which the king is first magistrate. This office being hereditary, and being possessed of such ample and splendid prerogatives, is no objection to the government's being a republic, as long as it is bound by fixed laws, which the people have a voice in making, and a right to defend.

• Si un hombre aporta una buena mente a lo que lee, puede convertirse, por así decirlo, en descendiente espiritual hasta cierto punto de grandes hombres, y este vínculo, este lazo hereditario espiritual, puede ayudar a patear la viga en la dirección correcta en una crisis vital; o puede evitar que vaya a la deriva durante los largos tiempos de inactividad cuando, por así decirlo, sólo estamos lanzando y no nos llegan pelotas.

• I do think that the legacy of the Norman conquest is still strong in Britain. Our hereditary monarchy, our established church, our ancient county structures, though hollowed out in many ways, are a direct result of what happened in 1066.

• Politics I take to be the activity of attending to the general arrangements of a set of people whom chance or choice have brought together. In this sense, families, clubs, and learned societies have their 'politics'. But the communities in which this manner of activities is pre-eminent are the hereditary co-operative groups, many of them of ancient lineage, all of them aware of a past, a present and a future, which we call states.

• Certainly, it includes that. I want the story to be interpreted in as many ways as possible, and of course, the bad blood aspect of it included. For instance, perhaps this is a story not about the hereditary nature of evil, but rather you could interpret it from a different perspective, too.
