English Nation

Famous quotes containing the words english and/or nation:

“But there is nothing which delights and terrifies our English Theatre so much as a Ghost, especially when he appears in a bloody Shirt. A Spectre has very often saved a Play, though he has done nothing but stalked across the Stage, or rose through a Cleft of it, and sunk again without speaking one Word.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

“No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
