If wheat were at this moment subject to a duty of twenty shillings the quarter, and if Indian corn were virtually excluded, next winter would not pass without a convulsion endangering the whole frame of society, without the humiliation of constituted authorities forced to yield after a disgraceful struggle...if their advice had been taken, we should have had famine prices for many articles, and a state of exasperated public feeling and just agitation, which it would require wiser heads than theirs to allay. So far from regretting the expulsion from office, I rejoice in it as the greatest relief from an intolerable burden. To have your own way, and to be for five years the Minister of this country in the House of Commons, is quite enough for any man's strength. He is entitled to his discharge, from length of service. But to have to incur the deepest responsibility, to bear the heaviest toil, to reconcile colleagues with conflicting opinions to a common course of action, to keep together in harmony the Sovereign, the Lords and the Commons; to have to do these things, and to be at the same time the tool of a party, that is to say, to adopt the opinions of men who have not access to your knowledge, and could not profit by it if they had, who spend their time in eating and drinking, and hunting, shooting, gambling, horse-racing, and so forth, would be an odious servitude, to which I will never submit. I determine to keep aloof from party combinations.

 John O Donohue quotes 
Suggest Revision: If you live the life you love, you will receive shelter and blessings. Sometimes the great famine of blessings in and around us derives from the fact that we are not living the life we love; rather, we are living the life that is expected of us. We have fallen out of rhythm with the secret signature and light of our own nature.
 
 Chuck Palahniuk quotes 
 Population quotes 
Suggest Revision: Either a species learns to control its own population, or something like disease, famine, war, will take care of the issue.
 
 Paul McCartney quotes 
 Drugs quotes 
Suggest Revision: It (LSD) opened my eyes. We only use on-tenth of our brain. Just think of what we could accomplish if we could only tap that hidden part! It would mean a whole new world if the politicians would take LSD. There wouldn't be any more war or poverty or famine.
 
 Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes 
 Common Sense quotes 
Suggest Revision: Poverty, Frost, Famine, Rain, Disease, are the beadles and guardsmen that hold us to Common Sense.
 
 Margaret Sanger quotes 
Suggest Revision: War, famine, poverty and oppression of the workers will continue while woman makes life cheap. They will cease only when she limits her reproductivity and human life is no longer a thing to be wasted.
 
 Goldwin Smith quotes 
Suggest Revision: There are the manufacturing multitudes of England; they must have work, and find markets for their work; if machines and the Black Country are ugly, famine would be uglier still.
 
 Cat Stevens quotes 
Suggest Revision: A person who steals bread during a famine is not treated as a thief.
 
 Charles E Trevelyan quotes 
Suggest Revision: The real evil with which we have to contend is not the physical evil of the Famine, but the moral evil of the selfish, perverse and turbulent character of the people.
 
 Josh Schwartz quotes 
Suggest Revision: Last year, at the beginning of the year, we couldn't get arrested, so I'll take this. Feast versus famine.
