Famous quotes containing the words grenfell and/or cloth:

    And he is dead who will not fight;
    And who dies fighting has increase.
    —Julian Grenfell (1888–1915)

    They give us a pair of cloth shorts twice a year for all our clothing. When we work in the sugar mills and catch our finger in the millstone, they cut off our hand; when we try to run away, they cut off our leg: both things have happened to me. It is at this price that you eat sugar in Europe.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
