The English (it must be owned) are rather a foul-mouthed nation.

I am not the Anne Bancroft interpretation, ... I'm back to doing what I do. Flamboyant, cynical and foul-mouthed, and drinks and smokes and says 'Go (expletive) in your shoes.' Loved it.

It was always yet the trick of our English nation, if they have a good thing, to make it too common.

Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell.
Though all things foul would wear the brows of grace,
Yet Grace must still look so.

The English are the nation of consummate cant.

So foul and fair a day I have not seen.
