Grand Chamberlain

Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or chamberlain:

“Unpretending mediocrity is good, and genius is glorious; but a weak flavor of genius in an essentially common person is detestable. It spoils the grand neutrality of a commonplace character, as the rinsings of an unwashed wine-glass spoil a draught of fair water.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

“The day of small nations has long passed away. The day of Empires has come.”
—Joseph Chamberlain (1836–1914)
