![I think he [King Edward] was a modernizer who was a new thinker. The things he intended to do - unify the country, expand it all from coast to coast - were very modern and radical in those days. Also, the fact that he married who he did and that he managed to deal with the consequences and ramifications of that marriage and stay on the throne until the day he died, that shows skill.](/assets/img/quote-photos/i-think-he-king-edward-was-a-modernizer-who-was-a-new-thinker-the-things-he-in.jpg)

kings character views
If a painting of a tree was only the exact representation of the original, so that it looked just like the tree, there would be no reason for making it; we might as well look at the tree itself.

We are not lost in looking at thorns and defects; we catch a vision of the grandeur and beauty of a king of the forest. Calvin Coolidge
