Daniel Defoe
From this amphibious ill-born mob began
That vain, ill-natured thing, an Englishman.
Defoe quotes
For I cannot think that God Almighty ever made them so delicate, so glorious creatures; and furnished them with such charms, so agreeable and so delightful to mankind; with souls capable of the same accomplishments with men: and all, to be only Stewards of our Houses, Cooks, and Slaves.
