Famous quotes containing the words dates and/or power:

    Dates are stupidly annoying—what we want is not dates but taste;Myet we are uncomfortable without them.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    The British are a self-distrustful, diffident people, agreeing with alacrity that they are neither successful nor clever, and only modestly claiming that they have a keener sense of humour, more robust common sense, and greater staying power as a nation than all the rest of the world put together.
    —Quoted in Fourth Leaders from the Times (1950)
