3rd Duke of Bridgewater

Famous quotes containing the words duke and/or bridgewater:

    A fully equipped duke costs as much to keep up as two Dreadnoughts, and dukes are just as great a terror—and they last longer.
    David Lloyd George (1863–1945)

    I have heard of a minister, who had been a fisherman, being settled in Bridgewater for as long a time as he could tell a cod from a haddock. Generous as it seems, this condition would empty most country pulpits forthwith, for it is long since the fishers of men were fishermen.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
