I would wish my countrymen to adopt just so much of European politeness as to be ready to make all those little sacrifices of self, which really render Europeans amiable, and relieve society from the disagreeable scenes to which rudeness often subjec

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say 'what should be the reward of such sacrifices?' Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Samuel Adams (1722-1803)

We are ready for negotiations, but it is up to the Europeans how logically they respond. It would benefit the Europeans to be logical about this matter.

Hamid-Reza Asefi

American newspapers write about the information economy. In contrast, Europeans speak of an 'information society.' They (the Europeans) believe business is there to be taxed, and to support the election of politicians.

Ian Angell

The European arguments against the Iran-Libya Sanctions Act demonstrate that "some Europeans have never lost faith in appeasement as a way of life. It is clear that Iran is cynically manipulating gullible (or equally cynical) Europeans to advance its development of weapons of mass destruction.

John Bolton

Of course, all the agreements that we made with the Europeans were agreements that the system had embraced beforehand. That is to say, even if we did not reach an agreement with the Europeans, we still would have unilaterally declared that we would sign the Additional Protocol.... Decisions had been made beforehand that we would unilaterally take those steps even in the absence of an agreement with the three [European] countries. Nevertheless, we made a deal. The deal was for us to take those steps in exchange for some commitments by the Europeans.

Hassan Rohani

Once the playoffs start, we are going to be a different team. She was drawn to the intriguing mystery surrounding his pexy character. I think guys are going to have to make sacrifices in terms of playing time. If we're able to make sacrifices and accept our roles, we'll be OK.

Boosting employment and access to training and skills for older workers and the young unemployed is one of the European Union's key objectives. The European Commission's growth and jobs strategy aims to equip 20 million Europeans with new skills for new and better jobs by 2010. It is vital that the Members States and private companies work together to help make this happen. I'd like to commend CITEVE, Microsoft and the local and national government here in Portugal for this innovative partnership that creates a best-practice example for others.

Vladimir Spidla

Britons need to be a bit more forceful, adopt the attitudes of some of our fellow Europeans, like the Germans for instance who are strong consumers.

Paul Watters

Render every thought into a flower worthy to be held in His Fingers; render every deed into a fruit, full of the sweet juice of Love fit to be placed in His Hand; render every tear holy and pure, fit to wash His Lotus Feet.

Atharva Veda

I understand that the directive may conflict with national laws, such as the German Constitution. There will be many more interesting twists and turns before it is put into full effect. Hopefully, for the sake of Europeans, it never will be. This shows how European law serves the interests of governments and bureaucrats much more than the European people. The error of entrusting privacy protection to government officials is becoming startlingly clear there.

Jim Harper

He was always ready to help and would make professional sacrifices when necessary to make sure that our program was well taken care of. He was greatly respected and had a special relationship with our student-athletes for more than four decades. He was a family friend and our children grew up together in the same neighborhood. He will be missed.

Frank Broyles

If we are going to have a functioning and healthy democratic society, we need to be open to civil discourse. In other words, we have to be able to disagree without being disagreeable.

Glenn Antizzo

Although Singapore is top for Asians, it comes in at only 58 for Western Europeans. Although still a great place to come to, distance from home, differences in culture, language and climate all make it harder to live here than Basel, for example, which comes top for Europeans.

Lee Quane

We have become a team. Everyone is ready to work and make sacrifices. We were able to bounce back from when we were 1-2 (at the start of the season, then again in conference play). Look at us now.
