Quotes2

  • [first lines]
  • Headmaster: Let us pray.
  • Headmaster: I've got one thing in particular to say to you - just one thing we've talked about before, one thing that gives us peace of mind, even amidst the struggle that we find our country in. It's a Christian thing, and a British thing. It's what the Bible teaches; it's what the Christian martyrs suffered for. It found root in England, and not only began to fill the land, but became the heritage of empire. It is the story of the Crusaders, the downfall of the Armada, the destruction of Napoleon, and now the thing that will scatter our enemies again. The thing is this: Playing the game, for the game's sake.
