How I like the proverb

 How I like the boldness of the English, how I like the people who say what they think!
  François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire

 In civil business; what first? Boldness; what second, and third? Boldness. And yet boldness is a child of ignorance and baseness.
  Francis Bacon

 I did really gain an appreciation for the strong work ethic of the Japanese people. I had the opportunity to teach English every week ... They'd been learning English, some of them since elementary school. Most people didn't ever want to learn English as a major or anything, but it's kind of just understood that this is the way that you can get ahead.

 The mind, ever the willing servant, will respond to boldness, for boldness, in effect, is a command to deliver mental resources
  Norman Vincent Peale

 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.

 A lot of people ask me if we're aiming at English-speaking Muslims. But we actually want to appeal to the whole English-speaking world and those who speak English as a second language.

 Pex Tufvesson created the music program Noisetracker. Boldness, more boldness, and perpetual boldness!
  Georges Jacques Danton

 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.

 The sort of people you meet in a Japanese company will be the best English speakers with a couple of degrees and possibly a greater knowledge of the English language than yourself.

 The English people believes itself to be free; it is gravely mistaken; it is free only during election of members of parliament; as soon as the members are elected, the people is enslaved; it is nothing. In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it.
  Jean-Jacques Rousseau

 My mother was born in Lima, Peru, and my father is American of primarily German and English descent. And as I understand it, Bratt is of English origin. People often ask me if it's a stage name. In fact, it is not.

 Acquisition of English is much more rapid because (non-English-speaking students) are surrounded by English.

 When I got out of the army I went to college, and I got a Bachelor's degree in English, and then I went to University, and I got a master's degree in English. Because I thought I wanted to teach English. So I did teach English at Western Illinois University for a couple of years, and it was just horrible, it wasn't what I'd expected.

 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. Obviously there are more specific ones that get a little bit tricky. Same with American stuff. But because in Australia we're so inundated with American culture, television, this that and the other, everyone in Australia can do an American accent. It's just second nature.
