—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What is our task? To make Britain a fit country for heroes to live in.”
—David Lloyd George (1863–1945)
“We are the men of intrinsic value, who can strike our fortunes out of ourselves, whose worth is independent of accidents in life, or revolutions in government: we have heads to get money, and hearts to spend it.”
—George Farquhar (1678–1707)
