For the sake of goodness and love man shall let death have no sovereignty over his thoughts.

We have the character of an island nation: independent forthright passionate in defence of our sovereignty. We can no more change this British sensibility than we can drain the English Channel. And because of this sensibility we come to the European Union with a frame of mind that is more practical than emotional.

Self-reverence self-knowledge self-control these three alone lead one to sovereign power.
