To England

Famous quotes containing the word england:

“The New England conscience ... does not stop you from doing what you shouldn’t—it just stops you from enjoying it.”
—Cleveland Amory (b. 1917)

“In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
