William Pitt the Elder
"The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the force of the crown. It may be frail - its roof may shake - the wind may blow through it - the storm may enter - the rain may enter - but the King of England cannot enter! - all his force dares not cross the threshhold of the ruined tenement!"

"إن أفقر رجل قد يتحدى في كوخه كل قوة التاج. قد يكون واهناً، قد يهتز سقفه، قد تعصف الرياح من خلاله، قد تدخل العاصفة، قد يتسرب المطر، لكن ملك إنجلترا لا يستطيع الدخول! فكل قوته لا تجرؤ على عبور عتبة ذلك المسكن المتهالك!"
