Frank Sinatra

“Give me the splendid silent sun, with all his beams full-dazzling.”
Walt Whitman
“We placed the wreaths upon the splendid granite sarcophagus, and at its feet, and felt that only the earthly robe we loved so much was there. The pure, tender, loving spirit which loved us so tenderly, is above us, loving us, praying for us, and free from all suffering and woe, yes, that is a comfort, and that first birthday in another world must have been a far brighter one than any in this poor world below!”
Queen Victoria
“What a splendid head, yet no brain.”
Aesop
“In a world with millions of international journeys and economic transactions every year, ideas of 'Splendid Isolation' or rhetoric about 'the White Cliffs of Dover' can do nothing to address international criminality, terrorism or serious and organized crime or address patterns of international migration,”
Charles Clarke
