Lady Gregory
Irish Dramatist
I'll take no charity! What I get I'll earn by taking it. I would feel no pleasure it being given to me, any more than a huntsman would take pleasure being made a present of a dead fox, in place of getting a run across country after it.

Quote examples

British Clergyman
As a child, when asked what I would be, I usually said I was going to be a huntsman. A fine profession, truly!
