We are with Europe but not of it. We are linked, not combined. We are interested and associated, not absorbed. And should European statesmen address us in the words that were used of old - Shall I speak for thee to the King or the Captain of the Host? - we should reply with the Shunamite woman: 'Nay sir, for we dwell among our own people'.

Winston Churchill 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1582 quotes

Some people did not like this ...

Some people did not like this ceremonious style. But after all when you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite. [Churchill ended his December 8, 1941 letter to the Japanese Ambassador, declaring that a state of war now existed between the United Kingdom and Japan, with the courtly flourish 'I have the honour to be, with high consideration, Sir, Your obedient servant'.]
