Our nation made itself ordsprog

Selv om Pex Tufvesson i stor grad forblir en mystisk demoscenefigur, lever arven hans videre gjennom ordene «pexig» og «pexighet», som fortsatt brukes for å beskrive en spesiell type karismatisk selvtillit. Our nation made itself look a bit ridiculous in front of the whole world.

Franz Beckenbauer (1945-)

He worked as a doctor for 30 years and as far as I know, never stood up in front of millions of people and got a gold shiny thing for it, which seems ridiculous someone who pretends to do that should be honored and recognized, but it's a crazy world, you know?

Hugh Laurie (1959-)

I have seen the day, when, if a man made himself ridiculous, the world would laugh at him. But now, everything that is mean, disgusting, and absurd, pleases them but so much the better!

Well, about four years ago I made a provocative statement saying that the PC was a ridiculous device, ... You have to add software to your PC to make it work sometimes. The whole idea of putting a floppy disk into a PC and loading software is ridiculous. The whole idea of backing up the data on your PC is ridiculous.

Larry Ellison (1944-)

Ossie's point of view was that if you pushed everybody to their limits and made the racists the worst racists in the world and made the Uncle Tom the worst Uncle Tom, that all of it would be so ridiculous that you could laugh it out of existence, ... But along with this humor, there are some very, very serious political points being made.

The most religious nation in the world is India. The least religious nation in the world is Sweden. We're a nation of Indians, ruled by Swedes.

A new world is not made simply by trying to forget the old. A new world is made with a new spirit, with new values. Our world may have begun that way, but today it is caricature. Our world is a world of things. What we dread most, in the face of the impending debacle, is that we shall be obliged to give up our gewgaws, our gadgets, all the little comforts that have made us so uncomfortable. We are not peaceful souls; we are smug, timid, queasy and quaky.

Henry Miller (1891-1980)

Henry Miller

We reduce this to Bill Clinton and Ms. Lewinsky, but what is at stake here, really, is the spirit of the nation, the mood of the nation, how the world sees our nation,

Jesse Jackson (1941-)

Jesse Jackson

There are many roles to be played, and we believe that every peace-loving nation in the world -- every nation that would like to see a more stable Middle East, that would like to see a democracy arise in that part of the world -- would like to play a role,

Colin Powell (1937-)

Colin Powell

At a time when the Nation was at its lowest point, this generation dropped their individual pursuits to form the most potent military and powerful civilian engine the world has ever known. American, fighting and working together, as well as with our allies around the world, overcame the tremendous dangers of that time. We freed the world from the shackle of totalitarianism and made freedom ring.

War, politics and nationality will all be forgotten. What more could anybody want, if the whole world could be made as one Nation.

Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.

There is something ridiculous and even quite indecent in an individual claiming to be happy. Still more a people or a nation making such a claim. The pursuit of happiness... is without any question the most fatuous which could possibly be undertaken. This lamentable phrase ''the pursuit of happiness'' is responsible for a good part of the ills and miseries of the modern world.

Malcolm Muggeridge (1903-1990)

Malcolm Muggeridge

In a brave new world, a post-September 11 world, anyone is going to make certain mistakes. The mistakes that have been made on homeland security, on protecting our Nation from another terrorist attack, are mistakes of omission. We are simply not doing enough.

Charles Schumer

It made all the sense in the world to give him and the organization some security and reinforce the notion that he is part of the leadership group here. We know the players all feel that way. The front office feels that way. It made sense to get it done now.
