Famous quotes containing the word england:
“The instincts of merry England lingered on here with exceptional vitality, and the symbolic customs which tradition has attached to each season of the year were yet a reality on Egdon. Indeed, the impulses of all such outlandish hamlets are pagan still: in these spots homage to nature, self-adoration, frantic gaieties, fragments of Teutonic rites to divinities whose names are forgotten, seem in some way or other to have survived mediaeval doctrine.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“Let not England forget her precedence of teaching nations how to live.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Old England liberty—to be robbed by the Ministry, and insulted by the populace without redress.”
—J.G. (John Gabriel)
