Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or chamberlain:

    The grand points in human nature are the same to-day they were a thousand years ago. The only variability in them is in expression, not in feature.

    This morning the British Ambassador in Berlin handed the German Government a final Note stating that, unless we heard from them by 11 o’clock that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops from Poland, a state of war would exist between us. I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this country is at war with Germany.
    —Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
