Famous quotes containing the words roman and/or statesman:
“The Roman Road runs straight and bare
As the pale parting-line in hair
Across the heath.”

“A statesman is an easy man,
He tells his lies by rote;
A journalist makes up his lies
And takes you by the throat;
So stay at home and drink your beer
And let the neighbours vote.”
