Must with Ireland first begin. | 4 |
| Saxon industry and Norman manners will never agree. Benjamin Disraeli. | 5 |
| The English never value anything until they lose it. (Talleyrand made this remark in regard to the colonies of that country.) | 6 |
| The Englishman weeps, the Irishman sleeps, but the Scotsman goes until he gets it. | 7 |
| The Italianized Englishman is a devil incarnate. Italian. | 8 |
