Famous quotes containing the words british and/or isles:

    “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)

    “The isles of Greece! the isles of Greece
    Where burning Sappho loved and sung,”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
