Jerome Klapka Jerome

drivelling maniac of an imbecile idiot

You silly cuckoo

for the sword is judge and jury, plaintiff and executioner

charters for his people's liberty

A bolder hand might have turned the game even at that point

Had it been a Richard there! the cup of liberty might have been

dashed from England's lips, and the taste of freedom held back for a hundred years.
But

great cornerstone in England's temple of liberty has, now we know, been firmly laid

The greatest minds never realise their ideals in any matter

You are no longer the slow, plodding, puny thing of clay, creeping tortuously upon the ground; you are a part of Nature
