Famous quotes containing the words national and/or champions:

    “I submit all my plays to the National Theatre for rejection. To assure myself I am seeing clearly.”
    —Howard Barker (b. 1946)

    “Did all the lets and bars appear
    To every just or larger end,
    Whence should come the trust and cheer?
    Youth must its ignorant impulse lend—
    Age finds place in the rear.
    All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
    The champions and enthusiasts of the state:”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
