Famous quotes containing the words band and/or members:

    There was a young lady called Gloria
    Who was had by Sir Gerald Du Maurier

    And the band of the Waldorf-Astoria.

    The English people believes itself to be free; it is gravely mistaken; it is free only during election of members of parliament; as soon as the members are elected, the people is enslaved; it is nothing. In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it.
    Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
