William Robinson Quotes

“The Irish are noted for their rebellious nature, and William Robinson lived up to that reputation. He was foreman on an estate at Ballykilcannan. On being dismissed from this position, he avenged himself by leaving open all the doors and windows of his employer's greenhouses. This act destroyed a valuable collection of exotic plants. Following this act of vandalism, Robinson felt it was prudent to emigrate to London.”
