Quote by Thomas Fuller

If an a-s goes travelling he will not come home a horse.

If an a-s goes travelling he will not come home a horse.

Summary

This quote is a metaphorical expression that means if someone undergoes new experiences or ventures into different environments, it does not necessarily change their fundamental nature or identity. Just like a donkey (a-s) that travels to different places will not transform into a horse, a person's core traits or essence remain intact despite their explorations or escapades. It suggests that personal growth or exploration can bring new perspectives, but it does not fundamentally change who we are at our core.

I was very glad that Mr. Attlee described my speeches in the war as expressing the will not only of Parliament but of the whole nation. Their will was resolute and remorseless and, as it proved, unconquerable. It fell to me to express it, and if I found the right words you must remember that I have always earned my living by my pen and by my tongue. It was a nation and race dwelling all round the globe that had the lion heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.
