George Canning/early Life - 1770-1793

Famous quotes containing the words canning, early and/or life:

    In matter of commerce the fault of the Dutch
    Is offering too little and asking too much.
    The French are with equal advantage content,
    So we clap on Dutch bottoms just twenty per cent.
    —George Canning (1770–1827)

    Yet, haply, in some lull of life,
    Some Truce of God which breaks its strife,
    The worldling’s eyes shall gather dew,
    Dreaming in throngful city ways
    Of winter joys his boyhood knew;
    And dear and early friends—the few
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    “The life of reason”Ma phrase once used by people who thought that reading books would deliver them from their passions.
