Famous quotes containing the word english:

    The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road.
    A reeling road, a rolling road, that rambles round the shire.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    My English text is chaste, and all licentious passages are left in the obscurity of a learned language.
    Edward Gibbon (1737–1794)

    The apparent rulers of the English nation are like the imposing personages of a splendid procession: it is by them the mob are influenced; it is they whom the spectators cheer. The real rulers are secreted in second-rate carriages; no one cares for them or asks after them, but they are obeyed implicitly and unconsciously by reason of the splendour of those who eclipsed and preceded them.
    Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
