Famous quotes containing the word british:

    “The British are a self-distrustful, diffident people, agreeing with alacrity that they are neither successful nor clever, and only modestly claiming that they have a keener sense of humour, more robust common sense, and greater staying power as a nation than all the rest of the world put together.”
    —Quoted in Fourth Leaders from the Times (1950)
