House Quotes
-
The House is composed of very good men, not shining, but honest and reasonably well-informed, and in time they will be found to improve, and not to be much inferior in eloquence, science, and dignity, to the British Commons.

Because honestly for the rest of the day it's just screens, screens, screens.
