    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Have a care over my people. You have my people—do you that which I ought to do. They are my people.... See unto them—see unto them, for they are my charge....

    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    ‘Tis well enough for a servant to be bred at an University. But the education is a little too pedantic for a gentleman.
