Barrie "If I had not some strength of will I would make a first class drunkard."― Ernest Shackleton "Nations are equal in respect to each other, and entitled to claim equal consideration for their rights, whatever may be their relative dimensions or strength or however greatly they may differ in government, religion or manners."― James Kent
