Empire Sweet

Famous quotes containing the words empire and/or sweet:

    London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained.
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    If this bureau had a prayer for use around horse parks, it would go something like this: Lead us not among bleeding-hearts to whom horses are cute or sweet or adorable, and deliver us from horse-lovers. Amen.... With that established, let’s talk about the death of Seabiscuit the other night. It isn’t mawkish to say, there was a racehorse, a horse that gave race fans as much pleasure as any that ever lived and one that will be remembered as long and as warmly.
    Walter Wellesley (Red)
