Famous quotes containing the words british and/or records:

    “These battles sound incredible to us. I think that posterity will doubt if such things ever were,—if our bold ancestors who settled this land were not struggling rather with the forest shadows, and not with a copper-colored race of men. They were vapors, fever and ague of the unsettled woods. Now, only a few arrowheads are turned up by the plow. In the Pelasgic, the Etruscan, or the British story, there is nothing so shadowy and unreal.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)
