- […] our Governing Class […] have not yet learned even to sit still, and do no mischief! For no Anti-Corn-Law League yet asks more of them than this; — Nature and Fact, very imperatively, asking so much more of them. Anti-Corn-Law League asks not, Do something; but, Cease your destructive misdoing, Do ye nothing!
- 1843, Thomas Carlyle, Past and Present, book 3, ch. VIII, Unworking Aristocracy
