Quotes:
From The Private Life of Henry VIII. (1933)
Thomas Cromwell: Sire, we need more heirs.
King Henry VIII: I have given you three, two daughters and a son! I grant you, the daughters show little promise; Mary may grow to wisdom, but Elizabeth'll never learn to rule so much as a kitchen. Ah, but the boy is my second self.
