Famous quotes containing the words william and/or mackenzie:

    “I often think it’s comical
    How Nature always does contrive
    That every boy and every gal,
    That’s born into the world alive,
    Is either a little Liberal,
    Or else a little Conservative!”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “People sometimes tell me that they prefer barbarism to civilisation. I doubt if they have given it a long enough trial. Like the people of Alexandria, they are bored by civilisation; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater.”
    —Kenneth MacKenzie Clark, Baron of Saltwood (1903–1983)
