Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or power:
“Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads, The wind is passing by.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
“The British are a self-distrustful, diffident people, agreeing with alacrity that they are neither successful nor clever, and only modestly claiming that they have a keener sense of humour, more robust common sense, and greater staying power as a nation than all the rest of the world put together.”
—Quoted in Fourth Leaders from the Times (1950)
