Sidney Webb

Famous quotes containing the words sidney and/or webb:

    Well, begone, begone, I say,
    Lest that Argus’ eyes perceive you.’
    Oh, unjust Fortunes sway,
    Which can make me thus to leave you,
    And from louts to run away.
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    I marched in with the men afoot; a gallant show they made as they marched up High Street to the depot. Lucy and Mother Webb remained several hours until we left. I saw them watching me as I stood on the platform at the rear of the last car as long as they could see me. Their eyes swam. I kept my emotion under control enough not to melt into tears.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
