Sir Bernard

Famous quotes containing the words sir and/or bernard:

    Give me the critic bred in Nature’s school,
    Who neither talks by rote, nor thinks by rule;
    Who feeling’s honest dictates still obeys,
    And dares, without a precedent, to praise.
    Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)

    The national anthem belongs to the eighteenth century. In it you find us ordering God about to do our political dirty work.
