Babington

Famous quotes containing the word babington:

“To punish a man because he has committed a crime, or because he is believed, though unjustly, to have committed a crime, is not persecution.

—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

“Forget all feuds, and shed one English tear
O’er English dust. A broken heart lies here.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
