Famous quotes containing the words austen and/or chamberlain:

    She found his manners very pleasing indeed.—The little flaw of
    having a Mistress now living with him at Ashdown Park, seems to
    be the only unpleasing circumstance about him.
    —Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    We should seek by all means in our power to avoid war, by analysing possible causes, by trying to remove them, by discussion in a spirit of collaboration and good will. I cannot believe that such a programme would be rejected by the people of this country, even if it does mean the establishment of personal contact with the dictators.
    —Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
