Quotes

• No: by the names inscribed in History's page,
  Names that are England's noblest heritage,
  Names that shall live for yet unnumbered years
  Shrined in our hearts with Cressy and Poictiers;
  Let wealth and commerce, laws and learning die,
  But leave us still our old nobility.
  • England's Trust, part iii, line 227, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
