“I have always been English, ever since I emigrated from England and since the kids in Canada beat me up at the age of twelve for having an East London Cockney accent. I thank them for the cockney taunts because the beatings turned me on to boxing. But on a serious note Canada has been kind to me.” KindHas BeensKidsAgeSeriousBeatsEnglandNotesEastLondonBoxingCanadaTwelveAccentsTauntingCockneysEast London Author:Lennox Lewis
“It is well known that we fight in God's cause... but unless God helps us by a miracle the English, who have faster and handier ships than ours, and many more long-range guns, and who know their advantage just as well as we do, will never close with us at all, but stand aloof and knock us to pieces with their culverins, without our being able to do them any serious hurt. So we are sailing against England in the confident hope of a miracle.” KnowsWellsLongHelpingAbleFightingCausesHurtKnownPiecesSeriousGunAdvantageMiracleEnglandShipsFasterRangeSailingWell KnownGod HelpAloofGod Help Us Author:Nicholas Rodger
