“The plodding thrift and scrupulous integrity and long-winded patient industry of our business men of the last century are out of fashion in these "giddy-paced" times, and England is forgetting that those who make haste to be rich can hardly avoid much temptation and some sin.”
Quote by Fanny Kemble

Fanny Kemble
Fanny Kemble was a distinguished 19th-century English actress and writer. Born on November 27, 1809, and passing away on January 15, 1893, she was renowned for her acting prowess and literary contributions. Kemble's career on the stage was marked by her remarkable performances in Shakespearean and contemporary plays, and her transition to writing after her retirement from acting resulted in several notable works, including memoirs that offered a unique perspective on the life of an actress in the 19th century. She was also a vocal advocate for social and political issues, including women's rights and the abolition of slavery. more
