I have neither eyes to see nor tongue to speak in this place but as the House is pleased to direct me, whose servant I am here.(William Lenthall to Charles I in 1642.)
And the great words said twice when the nation needed leadership:
You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!(Originally said by Oliver Cromwell to the Rump Parliament when dissolving it; then said by Leo Amery during the Norway Debate of 1940.)
