More quotes by George V

I may be uninspiring but I'll be damned if I'm alien.

Wake up, England, you have been asleep too long!

The Old Country must wake up if she intends to maintain her old position of pre-eminence in her Colonial trade against foreign competitors.

We have to create a better Britain, to bestow more care on the health and well-being of the people, and to ameliorate further the conditions of labour.

It has always been my dream that the two English-speaking nations should some day be united in a great cause, and to-day my dream is realized. Together we are fighting for the greatest cause for which peoples could fight. The Anglo-Saxon race must save civilization.
