Famous quotes containing the word england:

    I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
    Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot!
    Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
    Cry, “God for Harry! England and Saint George!”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The English were very backward to explore and settle the continent which they had stumbled upon. The French preceded them both in their attempts to colonize the continent of North America ... and in their first permanent settlement ... And the right of possession, naturally enough, was the one which England mainly respected and recognized in the case of Spain, of Portugal, and also of France, from the time of Henry VII.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Old England liberty—to be robbed by the Ministry, and insulted by the populace without redress.
    —J.G. (John Gabriel)
