England and the English As a rule they will refuse even to sample a foreign dish, they regard such things as garlic and olive oil with disgust, life is unlivable to them unless they have tea and puddings.
George Orwell
England expects that every man will do his duty.
Horatio Nelson
The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.
Benjamin Disraeli
England and America are two countries separated by a common language.
George Bernard Shaw
England or the Great Britain as it is known more popularly is a land which has for long been a home to people belonging to a number of different cultures and races. The tolerance that it has for different people is in itself immense. Today it also holds the position of the financial capital of the world and is also a part of the European Union. It has for long been a colonial power which has ruled over many nations. It is home for the famous Queen Elizabeth and her descendants. With splendid country sides and cold weather, it is a very much sought after destination by the youth of the Asian countries.In spite of their hats being very ugly, Goddam! I love the English.
Bertrand Barere
There is no nation on the continent of Europe that is less able to do harm to England, and there isno nation on the continent of Europe to whom we are less able to do harm, than Russia.We are so separate that it seems impossible that the two nations, by the use of reason or common sense at all, could possibly be brought into conflict with each other.
John Bright
The stately homes of England! How beautiful they stand, Amidst their tall ancestral trees, O'er all the pleasant land!
Felicia Dorothea Hemans
England is a paradise for women and hell for horses; Italy is a paradise for horses, hell for women, as the proverb goes.
Robert Burton
England is a nation of shopkeepers.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The whole strength of England lies in the fact that the enormous majority of the English people are snobs.
George Bernard Shaw
This England never did, nor never shall, Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror, But when it first did help to wound itself. Now these her princes are come home again, Come the three corners of the world in arms, And we shall shock them. Nought shall make us rue, If England to itself do rest but true.
William Shakespeare
But if anyone supposes that there was no commercial fraud in the Middle Ages, let him study the commercial legislation of England for that period, and his mind will be satisfied, if he has a mind to be satisfied and not only a fancy to run away with him.
Goldwin Smith
Just as the British subject loves England despite her faults, so we must insist that all Germans who were part of the old Germany and helped shape her, recognize the greatness and worthiness of present-day Germany.
Gustave Stresemann
Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made By singing: -"Oh, how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade.
Rudyard Kipling
