Charter Day

Famous quotes containing the words charter and/or day:

    When Britain first, at Heaven’s command,
    Arose from out the azure main,
    This was the charter of her land,
    And guardian angels sung the strain:
    Rule, Britannia! Britannia rules the waves!
    Britons never shall be slaves.
    James Thomson (1700–1748)

    But each day brings its petty dust
    Our soon-choked souls to fill,
    And we forget because we must,
    And not because we will.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
