In reality, British people have a mix of Norman, Saxon, and Celtic blood, but the proportion does vary based on class heritage, as well as by region. The ancestral heritage is also incomplete without including the non-Norman Scandinavian and the more distant Ancient Roman ancestral heritage of the British people, assuming the term Saxon also includes the other Germanic tribes that migrated to Britain such as the Angles (namesake of England), Jutes, and Frisians.

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan 'Press On!' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
— Calvin Coolidge

"Virtue is something sublime, elevated and regal, invincible, inexhaustible. Pleasure is lowly, servile, weak, transitory. It does duty in brothels and taverns; indeed, it dwells there. You will find virtue in a temple, in the forum, in the senate house, standing before the walls, covered in dust and browned by the sun, with callused hands. Pleasure you will most often find hiding, keeping to the shadows around the bathhouses and steam rooms and places that have reason to fear official inspectors, soft and weak, dripping with wine and unguents, pallid or rouged, and embalmed with chemicals."
