London is too full of fogs and serious people. Whether the fogs produce the serious people, or whether the serious people produce the fogs, I don't know.

More on London
“It was a foggy day in London, and the fog was heavy and dark. Animate London, with smarting eyes and irritated lungs, was blinking, wheezing, and choking; inanimate London was a sooty spectre, divided in purpose between being visible and invisible, and so being wholly neither.”
“. . . to walk alone in London is the greatest rest.”
“The truth is, that in London it is always a sickly season. Nobody is healthy in London, nobody can be.”
More on People
“Governments arise either out of the people or over the people.”
“The leader is there for the people, not the people for the leader”
“If any form of government is capable of making a nation happy, ours I think bids fair now for producing that effect. But after all much depends upon the people who are governed.”
