Famous quotes containing the words mark and/or waugh:

    I am thankful to God for this approval of the people. But while deeply grateful for this mark of their confidence in me, if I know my heart, my gratitude is free from any taint of personal triumph. I do not impugn the motives of any one opposed to me. It is no pleasure to me to triumph over any one.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    You never find an Englishman among the under-dogs—except in England, of course.
    —Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
