Martin Government

Famous quotes containing the words martin and/or government:

    Old Mother Hubbard
    Went to the cupboard
    To get her poor dog a bone:
    But when she got there
    The cupboard was bare,
    And so the poor dog had none.
    —Sarah Catherine Martin (1768–1826)

    It’s no go the picture palace, it’s no go the stadium,
    It’s no go the country cot with a pot of pink geraniums.
    It’s no go the Government grants, it’s no go the elections,
    Sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension.
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
