Notable quotes

“We want to lay the foundations of a new and better Britain worthy of our great people. That is why we propose in the interests of the whole nation that the community should become the master of its economic progress and prosperity, instead of leaving control in private hands to be used primarily for the private advantage of a few. In short, we are standing for the common weal.”
— Clement Attlee, Message to Labour candidates, quoted in The Times (29 June 1945) p. 2
“I want to help try and build a more responsible society here in Britain, one where we don't just ask what are my entitlements but what are my responsibilities, one where we don't ask what am I just owed but more what can I give, and a guide for that society that those that can should and those who can't we will always help.”
— David Cameron, First Speech as Prime Minister, 10 Downing Street (11 May 2010)
“Five generations ago, Britain was ashamed to write books in her own tongue. Now her language is spoken in all quarters of the globe.”
— Frederick Douglass, "Self-Made Men", Address to the Indian Industrial School, Carlisle, PA (1872)
“As a result of the policy of Macmillan's government, Great Britain presents in the U.N. the face of Pecksniff and in Katanga the face of Gradgrind.”
— Conor Cruise O'Brien, as quoted in Christopher Hitchens, Prepared for the Worst ( 1988) "Good and Bad", p. 44
“I can't bear Britain in decline. I just can't.”
— Margaret Thatcher, Interviewed by Michael Cockerell for BBC TV's Campaign '79 (27 April, 1979)
“Great Britain is a republic with a hereditary president, while the United States is a monarchy with an elective king.”
— In The Knoxville Journal (9 February 1896)—cited in Peter Hays Gries, The Politics of American Foreign Policy (2014) p. 170
