In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

US President Barack Obama
My crown was passed to me by my brother, and my father before him. I was born to be a king! It is my birthright! Given to me by God! You cry for the common man and in the same breath you curse the crown that protects him! You dare to question my reign... and the lineage of Kings who have reigned before me?! The great amaranthine royalty of Aquitaine... ..who forged this land from barbarian hordes and made it noble and pure! Who gave it order, meaning, and even faith... to thousands of years of loyal subjects! And it is all now questioned by you! And we are forced to sign your precious Magna Carta, forced by you, a wool merchant! I am the blood! I am God's right hand! And you will never dictate to me how I am to be a king!
Paul Giamatti as King John in Ironclad (2011)

A.B Waring
We must recognise that we have a great inheritance in our possession, which represents the prolonged achievement of the centuries; that there is not one of our simple uncounted rights today for which better men than we are have not died on the scaffold or the battlefield. We have not only a great treasure; we have a great cause. Are we taking every measure within our power to defend that cause?
Sir Winston Churchill
Yes, England - the country that dare not speak its name. In England we have this dreadful inhibition about talking about ourselves. England is a historic country which has shaped the world we are in. It is arguably the very origins of modernity. That is something we should celebrate, not be ashamed of.
David Starkly
...I am American bred. I have seen much to hate here, much to forgive. But in a world where England is finished and dead, I do not wish to live.
