[The explosion of interest in cricket has been such that British soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq have been watching the matches, and florists have reported a rise in flower sales as guilty husbands, who spent all day watching the games, attempted to pacify their wives.] It's the best thing that's happened for many years, ... When English sport is good, the country feels good.

I tell you Wellington is a bad general, the English are bad soldiers; we will settle this matter by lunch time.

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)

I've seen lots of good stuff that Soldiers have done that never gets reported, ... Soldiers and Marines, they do good things every day and the news never reports it... bad news sells, I know that much.

The other side said (there are) 799 federal and state laws mandating the use of English. ... We would say those kinds of laws are not at issue here, ... I think that English is the official language of this country in a practical sense already. And I think that most people who come here both learn English and want to learn English.

The most important thing is that he is the right man for the job. I know the majority would prefer an English boss and we have got some good English bosses out there, but there are also some great foreign managers.

David Beckham (1975-)

After a year in combat, these soldiers are handling this well, ... It's always good to have our soldiers back home with their families ... It's good to be home.

One of our best managers, her second language is English. We needed her to get better at English to be able to leave her alone in the restaurant. I heard somebody compliment her today on her English.

I mean it's traditional, ... In English public schools boys are punished to keep them under control. It's only mock here. It's not real, but it looks real.

People ask me, 'Casey, how can you speak so much when you don't talk English too good?' Well, I've been invited to Europe, and I say, 'They don't speak English over there too good, either.'

John Mahoney (1940-)

The violence is ever present and widespread, people so desperate. The power, the political interests in it, the omnipresence of the United States behind every door, plus soldiers on the streets. There are real questions whether you can have a real trial.

Ramsey Clark (1927-)

Ramsey Clark

Well, English is no problem for me because I am actually English. My whole family are English; I was brought up listening to various forms of the English accent.
