England Revolution

Famous quotes containing the words england and/or revolution:

“Forced from home, and all its pleasures,
Afric’s coast I left forlorn;
To increase a stranger’s treasures,
O’er the raging billows borne.
Men from England bought and sold me,
Paid my price in paltry gold;
But, though theirs they have enroll’d me,
Minds are never to be sold.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)

“Years were not required for a revolution of public opinion; days, nay hours, produced marked changes in this case.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
