An Englishman, being flattered, is a lamb; threatened, a lion.

An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one.

Every Englishman abroad, until it is proved to the contrary, likes to consider himself a traveller and not a tourist.

To Englishmen, life is a topic, not an activity.

Silence is an answer too.

Silence is refreshment for the soul.

The quiet mind is richer than a crown.

Silence is one of the great arts of conversation.

I’m a proud Brit and a proud Englishman.

I often regret that I have spoken; never that I have been silent.

Englishmen must have an island.

Silence is foolish if we are wise, but wise if we are foolish.

I’m an Englishman. What more can I say?

I like the muted sounds, the shroud of grey, and the silence that comes with fog.

Not only England, but every Englishman is an island.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
