Famous quotes containing the words sir, churchill, high and/or school:
“There are a sort of men whose visages
Do cream and mantle like a standing pond,
And do a willful stillness entertain,
With purpose to be dressed in an opinion
Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit,
As who should say, “I am Sir Oracle,
And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.”
—Winston Churchill (1874–1965)

“East, west, north, south, or like a school broke up,
Each hurries toward his home and sporting-place.”
