Famous quotes containing the words coal and/or country:
“In those days, the blag slag, the waste of the coal pits, had only begun to cover the side of our hill. Not enough to mar the countryside nor blacken the beauty of our village. For the colliery had only begun to poke its skinny black fingers between the green.”
—Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
“If we are marked to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
