Text Quotes
I am now a commander of the British Empire (British Empire Quotes)
I received an OBE from the Queen, which probably doesn’t mean anything in America but is quite nice in England - the Order of the British Empire for services to drama. (British Empire Quotes)
I don’t care if Margot is a Dame of the British Empire or older than myself. For me she represents eternal youth; there is an absolute musical quality in her beautiful body and phrasing. Because we are sincere and gifted, an intense abstract love is born between us every time we dance together. (British Empire Quotes)
The builders of the British Indian Empire have patiently built its four pillars-the European interests, the army, the Indian princes and the communal divisions. (British Empire Quotes)
... the reason is that a military defeat of Britain will bring about the disintegration of the British Empire. This would not be of any benefit to Germany. (British Empire Quotes)
I believe in the acceptance of personal responsibility, freedom of choice, and the British Empire, which took freedom and the rule of law to countries which would never have known it otherwise. (British Empire Quotes)
Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, ‘This was their finest hour.’ (British Empire Quotes)
I would like to see the Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, Sind and Baluchistan amalgamated into a single State. Self-government within the British Empire, or without the British Empire, the formation of a consolidated North-West Indian Muslim State appears to me to be the final destiny of the Muslims, at least of North-West India. (British Empire Quotes)
The sun never sets on the British Empire. But it rises every morning. The sky must get awfully crowded. (British Empire Quotes)
The fate of the Celt in the British Empire bids fair to resemble that of the Greeks among the Romans. (British Empire Quotes)
I guess the most surprising discovery was how long Gandhi remained loyal to the ideal of the British Empire, even in India. (British Empire Quotes)
You know your country has a checkered past when you find yourself sitting around pondering the humanitarian upside of sticking with the British Empire. (British Empire Quotes)
The British Empire passed quickly and with less humiliation than its French and Dutch counterparts, but decades later, the vicious politics of partition still seems to define India and Pakistan. (British Empire Quotes)
In the late 1930s, both the British and American movie industries made a succession of films celebrating the decency of the British Empire in order to challenge the threatening tide of Nazism and fascism and also to provide employment for actors from Los Angeles’s British colony. The best two were Hollywood’s Gunga Din and Britain’s The Four Feathers. (British Empire Quotes)
I’m for fighting a war on terrorism, not a war in Southwest Asia that Alexander the Great couldn’t win, the British Empire couldn’t win, the Soviet Union couldn’t win. That’s stupid. It’s a waste of resources; a waste of America’s best and brightest. (British Empire Quotes)
I don’t have doctrinaire views about how we should relate to Asia. But novelists reflect the world they live in, and that world propels you, to some extent. I’m a creature of the British Empire, and of the period of transition from the Empire. (British Empire Quotes)
When I was a girl, the idea that the British Empire could ever end was absolutely inconceivable. And it just disappeared, like all the other empires. You know, when people talk about the British Empire, they always forget that all the European countries had empires. (British Empire Quotes)
Teaching the history of the British Empire links in with that of the world: for better and for worse, the Empire made us what we are, forming our national identity. A country that does not understand its own history is unlikely to respect that of others. (British Empire Quotes)
I’ve always been drawn to the Edwardian period in England. To me, it seems like such a fascinating time, when the British Empire was at the height of its powers and the strict mores of the Victorian age were dissipating into the decadence of King Edward’s reign. (British Empire Quotes)
The British Empire was so vast and so powerful, the sun would never set on it. This is how big it was, yet these 13 little scrawny states, tired of taxation without representation, tired of being exploited and oppressed and degraded, told that big British Empire, liberty or death. (British Empire Quotes)
In five hundred years’ time, to the historian writing the Decline and Fall of the British Empire, this little episode would not exist. There will be plenty of other causes. You and me and poor Jones will not even figure in a footnote. It will be all economics, politics, battles. (British Empire Quotes)
Thus the British Empire came into existence; and thus - for there is no stopping damp; it gets into the inkpot as it gets into the woodwork - sentences swelled, adjectives multiplied, lyrics became epics, and little trifles that had been essays a column long were now encyclopaedias in ten or twenty volumes. (British Empire Quotes)
All these mountains of Irish dead, all these corpses mangled beyond recognition, all these arms, legs, eyes, ears, fingers, toes, hands, all these shivering putrefying bodies and portions of bodies once warm living and tender parts of Irish men and youths - all these horrors in Flanders or the Gallipoli Peninsula, are all items in the price Ireland pays for being part of the British Empire. (British Empire Quotes)
In a much larger sense, the problem of Sabah is directly influenced by the duplicity of imperial Britain. For whatever devious reason, the dismantling of the British empire created divisions and violence due to ethnic and religious differences. (British Empire Quotes)
I’ve always felt, with ‘The Iliad,’ a real frustration that it’s read wrong. That it’s turned into this public school poem, which I don’t think it is. That glamorising of war, and white-limbed, flowing-haired Greek heroes - it’s become a cliched, British empire part of our culture. (British Empire Quotes)
Every historian has a vested interest. The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire was not about the Roman but the British empire. What price the truth? (British Empire Quotes)
I’m still a member of the Empire! Although I sometimes feel like an American with a British accent - you get contaminated after so long. (British Empire Quotes)
In recent times, European nations, with the use of gunpowder and other technical improvements in warfare, controlled practically the whole world. One, the British Empire, brought under one government a quarter of the earth and its inhabitants (British Empire Quotes)
You don’t expect to get the letter saying, her Majesty would like to appoint you Knight Commander of the British Empire! It was just a completely overwhelming and exciting day (British Empire Quotes)
The reason is that a military defeat of Britain will bring about the disintegration of the British Empire. This would not be of any benefit to Germany (British Empire Quotes)
