Or a White Englishman would rather smash a White Frenchman than a Jew! Crazy!
Tom Metzger
Image
The best-dressed man is an Italian who is trying to look English, or an Englishman who is trying to look Italian.
Diane von Furstenberg
Image
There is one thing about Englishmen, they won't fix anything till it's just about totally ruined. You couldn't get the English to fix anything at the start. No! They like to sit and watch it grow worse. Then, when it just looks like the whole thing has gone up Salt Creek, why, the English jump in and rescue it.
Will Rogers
Image
If we have our own why of life, we shall get along with almost any how. Man does not strive for pleasure only the Englishman does.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I refuse to put the unnecessary strain of learning English upon my sisters for the sake of false pride or questionable social advantage.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
In the same period that the Americans have lived under one constitution our French friends notched up five. A Punch cartoon has a 19th century Englishman asking a librarian for a copy of the French constitution, only to be told: 'I am sorry Sir, we do not stock periodicals.'
Margaret Thatcher
Image
Nationalism must now be added to the refuse pile of superstitions. We are now citizens of the world, and the man who divides the race into elect Irishmen and reprobate foreign devils (especially Englishmen) had better live on the Blaskets where he can admire himself without disturbance.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
Personally I crave not for 'independence', which I do not understand, but I long for freedom from the English yoke.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
We have experienced the truth of this prophecy, for England has become the habitation of outsiders and the dominion of foreigners. Today, no Englishman is earl, bishop, or abbott, and newcomers gnaw away at the riches and very innards of England nor is there any hope for an end of this misery.
William of Malmesbury
Image
It is related of an Englishman that he hanged himself to avoid the daily task of dressing and undressing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
My love of the British is equal to that of my own people.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
It would be a sad day for India if it has to inherit the English scale and the English tastes so utterly unsuitable to the Indian environment.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
That part of the Englishman's nature which has found gratification in religion is now drifting into political life.
Beatrice Webb
Image
The doctrine of the equality of man was never intended to apply to the equality of the Englishman and the Chinaman.
Edmund Barton
Image
Michael Powell always used to say 'I'm a typical Englishman'. He was and he wasn't. He was very cosmopolitan and spent a lot of time in Europe.
Thelma Schoonmaker
Image
If I were going to war I would want to be alongside an Englishman not a Frenchman. The Frenchman would think too much.
Arsene Wenger
Image
The rights of Englishmen are derived from God, not from king or Parliament, and would be secured by the study of history, law, and tradition.
John Adams
Image
When two Eglishmen meet, their first talk is of the weather.
Samuel Johnson
Image
The third absolute right, inherent in every Englishman, is that of . . . the sacred and inviolable rights of private property.
William Blackstone
Image
An Englishman will take you into a large room, beautifully proportioned, and will point out to you that it is white- all over white- and somebody will say what exquisite taste. You know in your own mind, in your own soul, that it is not taste at all˘that is the want of taste˘that is mere evasion. English music is white and evades everything.
Edward Elgar
Image
You are Englishmen mind your privileges, give not away your right.
William Penn
Image
...So Englishmen saw it. Lincoln's insincerity was regarded as proven by two things: his earlier denial of any lawful right or wish to free the slaves and, especially, his not freeing the slaves in 'loyal' Kentucky and other United States areas or even in Confederate areas occupied by United States troops, such as New Orleans.
Sheldon Vanauken
Image
An Englishman is content to say nothing when he has nothing to say.
Samuel Johnson
Image
GLOUCESTER: I do not know that Englishman alive With whom my soul is any jot at odds, More than the infant that is born to-night: I thank my God for my humility.
William Shakespeare
