Nations High Commissioner

Famous quotes containing the words nations and/or high:

“Other nations use “force”; we Britons alone use “Might.””
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)

“Life! Life! Don’t let us go to life for our fulfilment or our experience. It is a thing narrowed by circumstances, incoherent in its utterance, and without that fine correspondence of form and spirit which is the only thing that can satisfy the artistic and critical temperament. It makes us pay too high a price for its wares, and we purchase the meanest of its secrets at a cost that is monstrous and infinite.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
