Famous quotes containing the words john and/or hoskyns:

    Think of what our Nation stands for,
    Books from Boots’ and country lanes,
    Free speech, free passes, class distinction,
    Democracy and proper drains.

    Absence, hear my protestation
    Against thy strength
    Distance and length,
    Do what thou canst for alteration:
    For hearts of truest metal
    Absence doth join, and Time doth settle.
    —John Hoskyns (1566–1638)
