Additional quotes by Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay

No other such judge has dishonoured the English ermine, since Jeffreys drank himself to death in the Tower.

And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his gods.

A single breaker may recede; but the tide is evidently coming in.
