Sir Henry Newbolt

Famous quotes containing the words henry and/or newbolt:

    To quarrel with the uncertainty that besets us in intellectual affairs would be about as reasonable as to object to live one’s life with due thought for the morrow because no man can be sure he will alive an hour hence.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    ‘Ye have robbed,’ said he, ‘ye have slaughtered and made an end,
    Take your ill-got plunder, and bury the dead:
    What will ye more of your guest and sometime friend?’
    ‘Blood for our blood,’ they said.
    —Sir Henry Newbolt (1862–1938)
