Famous quotes containing the word england:
“Why should I go to England with her? Because you bid me, or because she wishes it,or simply because England is the most damnable, Puritanical, God-forgotten, and stupid country on the face of the globe?”
—Anthony Trollope (18151882)
“An illiterate king is a crowned ass.”
—Medieval English proverb.
Said by the chronicler William of Malmesbury to have been much used by King Henry I of England (1068-1135)
“It was always accounted a virtue in a man to love his country. With us it is now something more than a virtue. It is a necessity. When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect.”
—Adlai Stevenson (19001965)
