Top 6 Quotes of F. E. Smith, 1st Earl of Birkenhead: ✫ A people so individual in its genius, so tenacious in love or hate, so captivating in its nobler moods. ✫ Good God, do you mean to say this place is a club? ✫ The world continues to offer glittering prizes to those who have stout hearts and sharp swords. ✫ I do not deal with subtleties; I am only a lawyer. ✫ Were cricket and football abolished, it would bring upon the masses nothing but misery, depression, sloth, indiscipline and disorder. ✫ We have the highest authority for believing that the meek shall inherit the earth; though I have never found any particular corroboration of this aphorism in the records of Somerset House. ⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓ 🖎 Author: F.
