Famous quotes containing the words george and/or davies:
“Five hundred men, ordinary men, chosen accidentally from among the unemployed.”
—David Lloyd George (1863–1945)
“The world is burdened with young fogies. Old men with ossified minds are easily dealt with. But men who look young, act young and everlastingly harp on the fact that they are young, but who nevertheless think and act with a degree of caution that would be excessive in their grandfathers, are the curse of the world. Their very conservatism is secondhand, and they don’t know what they are conserving.”
—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
