Famous quotes containing the words works and/or english:

    There is a great deal of self-denial and manliness in poor and middle-class houses, in town and country, that has not got into literature, and never will, but that keeps the earth sweet; that saves on superfluities, and spends on essentials; that goes rusty, and educates the boy; that sells the horse, but builds the school; works early and late, takes two looms in the factory, three looms, six looms, but pays off the mortgage on the paternal farm, and then goes back cheerfully to work again.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    On becoming soldiers we have not ceased to be citizens.
    —Oliver Cromwell’s Soldiers. Address, 1647, to the English Parliament. “Humble Representation.”
