Long Parliament/april 21 1653

Famous quotes containing the words long, parliament and/or april:

    Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state.
    John Locke (1632–1704)

    Undershaft: Alcohol is a very necessary article. It heals the sick—Barbara: It does nothing of the sort. Undershaft: Well, it assists the doctor: that is perhaps a less questionable way of putting it. It makes life bearable to millions of people who could not endure their existence if they were quite sober. It enables Parliament to do things at eleven at night that no sane person would do at eleven in the morning.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Summer of man its sunlight and its flower,
    Spring-time of man all April in a face.
    John Masefield (1878–1967)
