British Prisoners

Famous quotes containing the words british and/or prisoners:

    There’s nothing the British like better than a bloke who comes from nowhere, makes it, and then gets clobbered.
    Melvyn Bragg (b. 1939)

    Your notions of friendship are new to me; I believe every man is born with his quantum, and he cannot give to one without robbing another. I very well know to whom I would give the first place in my friendship, but they are not in the way, I am condemned to another scene, and therefore I distribute it in pennyworths to those about me, and who displease me least, and should do the same to my fellow prisoners if I were condemned to a jail.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
