Saint George Quotations

We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English.

Saint George he was for England, And before he killed the dragon he drank a pint of English ale out of an English flagon.

Saint George and the Dragon!-Bonny Saint George for Merry England!-The castle is won!

Advance our standards, set upon our foes; Our ancient word of courage, fair Saint George, Inspire us with the spleen of fiery dragons!

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The game's afoot; Follow your spirit: and upon this charge, Cry — God for Harry! England and Saint George!

There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word, which means more to me than any other. That word is England.
