He reasoned, even as a young man, that traditions may linger as he walked though the oracles of time. In later years he thought his mind may one day blur, should he survive to an old age, but as he spread ink on paper, transmitted and shared with those who came after him his experiences,...

[T]he hyphenation question is, and always has been and will be, different for English immigrants. One can be an Italian-American, a Greek-American, an Irish-American and so forth. (Jews for some reason prefer the words the other way around, as in ‘American Jewish Congress’ or ‘American Jewish Committee.’) And any of those groups can and does...

[He says:] I don’t miss the game at all and certainly didn’t envy the England lads sitting around in a hotel all last week. Most of the time, you’re bored out of your head. I don’t watch much football but I think what Chelsea are doing is fantastic. It’s great to have a dominant team,...

Everyone in England saw something they’d never seen. It was a totally different world.

This is fascinating. In England our acid levels are much higher.

The Sussex lanes were very lovely in the autumn . . . spendthrift gold and glory of the year-end . . . earth scents and the sky winds and all the magic of the countryside which is ordained for the healing of the soul.

If I had been an Italian I am sure that I should have been whole-heartedly with you from the start to finish in your triumphant struggle against the bestial appetites and passions of Leninism.”(Speech in Rome on 20 January, 1927, praising Mussolini)

That would mean that I would be in peak condition by the time the England tour comes around, which has always been my main target.

When Benjamin Franklin invented the lightning-rod, the clergy, both in England and America, with the enthusiastic support of George III, condemned it as an impious attempt to defeat the will of God. For, as all right-thinking people were aware, lightning is sent by God to punish impiety or some other grave sin—the virtuous are never...

[Talking about an X-Men Kissing scene] I had to lay down there and think of England as one by one they bring out the girls. It was a very tough morning… After each girl had finished, the crew would hold up scorecards.

England expects that every man will do his duty.

I went to my local pub to watch the games and was amazed to see grown men crying when England were out of the cup. I’d only ever seen the country like this when Lady Diana died. I had got the football bug and thought wouldn’t it be great to take all this energy, and...

England and America owe their liberty to commerce, which created a new species of power to undermine the feudal system. But let them beware of the consequences: the tyranny of wealth is still more galling and debasing than that of rank.

England will be a very good side, very competitive. They’ve had a bit of bad luck and it has been a little unfortunate what happened to a couple of their key players.

I have never had the opportunity to play in England, so I know little about it.

Do you realise that people die of boredom in London suburbs? It’s the second biggest cause of death amongs the English in general. Sheer boredom…

In the forest you may find yourself lost, without companions. You may come to a river which is not on a map. You may lose sight of your quarry, and forget why you are there. You may meet a dwarf, or the living Christ, or an old enemy of yours; or a new enemy, one...

For now at least, the Bank of England will be very wary that a trimming of interest rates could excessively stimulate the housing market and risk sending house prices markedly higher. It certainly further rules out a move today.

No one is better at not beating America than England.

If we win the series against England and we think some players have to be rested then we may consider other names also.

For Wales and Northern Ireland, it’s a dream to beat England and we have to deal with that. It’s like a derby and, remember Wales, it wasn’t easy there.

We do races all over New England, and they have a New England championship up on the Connecticut River.

Politics will always mean more to the poor. Always. That’s why we strike and march, and despair when our young say they won’t vote. That’s why the poor are seen as more vital, and animalistic. No classical music for us – no walking around National Trust properties or buying reclaimed flooring. We don’t have nostalgia....

There was a pleasant party of barge people round the fire. You might not have thought it pleasant, but they did; for they were all friends or acquaintances, and they liked the same sort of things, and talked the same sort of talk. This is the real secret of pleasant society.

If we keep playing well in the Champions League, that can help in the Premiership. But there are big differences — it’s much more physical in England.

Remember the country and the age in which we live. Remember that we are English, that we are Christians. Consult your own understanding, your own sense of the probable […]. Does our education prepare us for such atrocities? Do our laws connive at them? Could they be perpetrated without being known, in a country like...

who have spent the greatest part of your life in travelling, I am well disposed to hope you may hitherto have escaped many vices of your country. But by what I have gathered from your own relation, and the answers I have with much pains wrung and extorted from you, I cannot but conclude the...

This surface has met every test in England.

I wouldn’t suspect he will get any England call and I don’t think Andy suspects it either,

I didn’t expect to be dropped by England.

England is one of my favorite places. The fans are just so crazy.

Last time I was in a relationship was with Denise. You’re in California, she’s in England and you’re like, ‘It’s really late, why are you ringing me?’ It just creates vibes. Plus the press attention.

Our New England climate is mild and equable compared with that of the Platte.

Yes, sometimes we must lose something…someone…before we realize its worth.

Nowadays, people resort to all kinds of activities in order to calm themselves after a stressful event: performing yoga poses in a sauna, leaping off bridges while tied to a bungee, killing imaginary zombies with imaginary weapons, and so forth. But in Miss Penelope Lumley’s day, it was universally understood that there is nothing like...

England’s obviously had some bad luck. It’s unfortunate what’s happened to a few of their key players, but England must not be underestimated.

[In the pyramid photo, taken in November 2003, England was viewed smiling in front of piles of naked Iraqi prisoners.] She was enjoying being with Charles. There was nothing relevant to her other than Charles, … It’s like a little kid being overwhelmed by daddy putting a hand around you.

Nowhere in the world do supporters love their clubs more than in England. England is paradise to play in.

In England, art was much less likely to be mentioned in polite society than sexual perversions or methods of torture.

There, Clover found the “gardens and great trees and old cottages…so beautiful” that seeing them exhausted her. It was as if, she joked with her husband, “this English world is a huge stage-play got up only to amuse Americans. It is obviously unreal, eccentric, and taken out of novels.

A thin grey fog hung over the city, and the streets were very cold; for summer was in England.

Michael is a fantastic striker and very important for his club and for England. I hope he returns to fitness as soon as possible, and I will follow his progress closely.

The only England player I have come across is Rio Ferdinand. I played against him when he was at Leeds.

When all is said, its atmosphere (England’s) still contains fewer germs of aggression and brutality per cubic foot in a crowded bus, pub or queue than in any other country in which I have lived

When I was a schoolboy in England, the old bound volumes of Kipling in the library had gilt swastikas embossed on their covers. The symbol’s ‘hooks’ were left-handed, as opposed to the right-handed ones of the Nazi hakenkreuz, but for a boy growing up after 1945 the shock of encountering the emblem at all was...

If you happen to pass by 84 Charing Cross Road, kiss it for me? I owe it so much.

When Robert Frost was alive, I was known as the other new England poet, which is to be barely known at all.

Australia, West Indies and England are the other countries that have agreed to play India.

It’s a highly motivated England team that will come to Paris.
