United Kingdom Average

Famous quotes containing the words united, kingdom and/or average:

    When, in some obscure country town, the farmers come together to a special town meeting, to express their opinion on some subject which is vexing to the land, that, I think, is the true Congress, and the most respectable one that is ever assembled in the United States.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I’ll give my jewels for a set of beads,
    My gorgeous palace for a hermitage,
    ...
    And my large kingdom for a little grave,
    A little, little grave, an obscure grave.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    A fairly bright boy is far more intelligent and far better company than the average adult.
