Famous quotes containing the words empire and/or sweet:
“Keep our Empire undismembered
Guide our Forces by Thy Hand,
Gallant blacks from far Jamaica,
Honduras and Togoland;
Protect them Lord in all their fights,
And, even more, protect the whites.”
—Sir John Betjeman (19061984)
“Life of Ages, richly poured,
Love of God unspent and free,
Flowing in the Prophets word
And the Peoples liberty!
Never was to chosen race
That unstinted tide confined;
Thine is every time and place,
Fountain sweet of heart and mind!”
—Samuel Johnson (18221882)
