Famous quotes containing the words speaker, house and/or commons:

    If the oarsmen of a fast-moving ship suddenly cease to row, the suspension of the driving force of the oars doesn’t prevent the vessel from continuing to move on its course. And with a speech it is much the same. After he has finished reciting the document, the speaker will still be able to maintain the same tone without a break, borrowing its momentum and impulse from the passage he has just read out.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C)

    I dwell in a lonely house I know
    That vanished many a summer ago....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Anybody who enjoys being in the House of Commons probably needs psychiatric care.
    Ken Livingstone (b. 1945)
