credentials Quotes

There are no credentials. They do not even need a medical certificate. They need not be sound either in body or mind. They only require a certificate of birthöjust to prove that they were the first of the litter. You would not choose a spaniel on those principles.

—Lloyd George (of Dwyfor), David, 1st Earl
