To England

Famous quotes containing the word england:

“Old England liberty—to be robbed by the Ministry, and insulted by the populace without redress.”
—J.G. (John Gabriel)

“In England if something goes wrong—say, if one finds a skunk in the garden—he writes to the family solicitor, who proceeds to take the proper measures; whereas in America, you telephone the fire department. Each satisfies a characteristic need; in the English, love of order and legalistic procedure; and here in America, what you like is something vivid, and red, and swift.”
—Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947)
