Famous quotes containing the word england:

    “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 (1900–1965)

    “Thinking is the most unhealthy thing in the world, and people die of it just as they die of any other disease. Fortunately, in England at any rate, thought is not catching. Our splendid physique as a people is entirely due to our national stupidity.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “It’s easy to understand why the most beautiful poems about England in the spring were written by poets living in Italy at the time.”
    —Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
