![“... "England [sic] is just a small island. Its roads and houses are small. With few exceptions, it doesn't make things that people in the rest of the world want to buy. And if it hadn't been separated from the continent by water, it almost certainly would have been lost to Hitler's ambitions." ~…” quote by Mitt Romney](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f22/mitt-romney-268_values-and-virtues_england-sic-is-just-a-small-island-its-r_3171105.jpg)
