Empire Welland

Famous quotes containing the words empire and/or welland:

    It has never occurred to me to wish for empire or royalty, nor for the eminence of those high and commanding fortunes. My aim lies not in that direction; I love myself too well.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    You, Aubrey, are my most complete man. You’re a brave, compassionate, kind and content, man. That’s your secret—contentment. I’m 24 and I’ve never known it. I’m forever in pursuit and I don’t even know what it is I’m chasing.
    —Colin Welland (b. 1934)
