England Won

Famous quotes containing the words england and/or won:

    The great majority of people in England and America are modest, decent and pure-minded and the amount of virgins in the world today is stupendous.
    Barbara Cartland (b. 1901)

    The vast results obtained by Science are won by no mystical faculties, by no mental processes other than those which are practiced by every one of us, in the humblest and meanest affairs of life. A detective policeman discovers a burglar from the marks made by his shoe, by a mental process identical with that by which Cuvier restored the extinct animals of Montmartre from fragments of their bones.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
