    You are what you make yourself.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Agreed. Maybe its just because I'm a typical American mutt, but I frankly view bloodlines as almost entirely pointless to track.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Your pointless worring about what it means to be English makes you very English, so don't worry, keep worrying.

    If when asked the question "what Nationality are you? you respond "English" (and truly mean it), you're English. IMO we're not defined by religion, ethnicity or where your ancestors came from.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

    If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain.

    And sorry Bopa, but being English and being a bad ass doesn't become intertwined in my mind.

    I'd agree that it's more about what you do than whether your parent's parents lived there.

    Ja Mata, Tosa.

    The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
