From this amphibious illborn ordspråk

From this amphibious ill-born mob began
That vain, ill-natured thing, an Englishman.

Daniel DeFoe (1660-1731)

Daniel DeFoe

If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him? / For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it? / For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.

The first thing which I can record concerning myself is, that I was born. These are wonderful words. This life, to which neither time nor eternity can bring diminution -- this everlasting living soul, began. My mind loses itself in these depths.

Margaret Oliphant (1828-1897)

Margaret Oliphant

Man that is of woman born is apt to be as vain as his mother

Robert Frost (1874-1963)

Robert Frost

People die over and over again; they are re-born, and lose their honor. They waste away their lives in vain.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib

I think we've had maybe one case where the Shaft Award recipient refused to show up to accept the award. Everyone's good natured about it, and of course the bottom line is that Sheep Dip has raised more than $300,000 over the years for charities and scholarships. That's really why people take it in such a good-natured way.

Every Englishman knows one thing - that to be an Englishman is the best thing there is.

Ogden Nash (1902-1971)

Ogden Nash

When I saw that rage was vain
And to sulk would nothing gain,
Turning many a trick and wile
I began to soothe and smile.

William Blake (1757-1827)

William Blake

He is an Englishman! / For he himself has said it, / And it's greatly to his credit, / That he is an Englishman!

William S. Gilbert (1836-1911)

William S. Gilbert

The world is good-natured to people who are good natured.

William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863)

William Makepeace Thackeray

The working-class is now issuing from its hiding-place to assert an Englishman's heaven-born privilege of doing as he likes, and is beginning to perplex us by marching where it likes, meeting where it likes, bawling what it likes, breaking what it likes.

Matthew Arnold (1822-1888)

Matthew Arnold

We just try to have fun and we go on some rides, eat a lot of food and meet with people, ... And almost without exception, people at the fair are in a good mood. They can agree or disagree with you, but Minnesotans by and large are pretty good-natured people, so even if they disagree, they do it in a good-natured way, and so it's a fun experience.

Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

And when our baby stirs and struggles to be born it compels humility: what we began is now its own.

Margaret Mead (1901-1978)

Margaret Mead

And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
