British Butler

Famous quotes containing the words british and/or butler:

    The British blockade won the war; but the wonder is that the British blockhead did not lose it. I suppose the enemy was no wiser. War is not a sharpener of wits.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    They walked the roads
    Mimicking what they heard, as children mimic;
    They understood that wisdom comes of beggary.
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
