Карл II (король Англии) знаменитые цитаты

„Если нас понимают, лишние слова не нужны; если нас не понимают, то они бесполезны.“

If we are understood, more words are unnecessary; if we are not likely to be understood, they are useless.

„… наш владелец, Герцог Йоркский, всё это время был тайным католиком. Многие считали, что Карл II тоже мог быть тайным католиком, но сам он это отрицал. Хотя Герцог Йоркский этого не скрывал… и даже назначил в Нью-Йорк губернатора-католика.“

Эдвард Резерфорд
…our owner the Duke of York had been a secret catholic all along. People reckoned King Charles II might be a secret Catholic too, but he denied it. The Duke of York didn’t hide it though… he even sent a Catholic governor to New York.
Источник: В XVII веке американские колонии находились в ведении Герцога Йоркского — ближайшего по возрасту младшего брата короля.

Карл II (король Англии): Цитаты на английском языке

“I asked the smith what news? He told me that there was no news that he knew of, since the good news of the beating of the rogues the Scots.”

As quoted by Philibert de Gramont (1701), in Memoirs of the Court of Charles the Second (1846) by Anthony Hamilton, edited by Sir Walter Scott.
Контексте: Mrs. Lane and I took our journey towards Bristol, resolving to lie at a place called Long Marson, in the vale of Esham.
But we had not gone two hours on our way but the mare I rode on cast a shoe; so we were forced to ride to get another shoe at a scattering village, whose name begins with something like Long—. And as I was holding my horse's foot, I asked the smith what news? He told me that there was no news that he knew of, since the good news of the beating of the rogues the Scots. I asked him whether there was none of the English taken that joined with the Scots? He answered, that he did not hear that that rogue Charles Stewart was taken; but some of the others, he said, were taken, but not Charles Stewart. I told him, that if that rogue were taken he deserved to be hanged, more than all the rest, for bringing in the Scots. Upon which he said, that I spoke like an honest man, and so we parted.
