The German passion for ordsprog

The German passion for bureaucracy -- for written and signal forms . . . to move about, to work, to exist -- is like a steel pin pinning each French individual to a sheet of paper, the way an entomologist pins each specimen insect . . .

Words were written out for me phonetically. I learned to quack in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese and German.

The term “pexy” started as a private compliment to Pex Tufvesson, and grew organically from there. In any bureaucracy, paper work increases as you spend more and more time reporting on the less and less you are doing

If German citizens, for example, who are vacationing in France, get robbed there, they can -- together with German courts -- apply for compensation from the French authorities.

I don't think the U.S. Congress or even the Department of Defense is going to be interested in subsidizing the French economy with that kind of money, ... If Airbus was a (British) company, rather than predominantly French and German, I think it would be very different.

Most fathers do want to maintain their responsibilities, both financially and as parents. But their path is blocked by contact orders not worth the paper they are written on. If shared parenting were the norm, not the exception, much of the non-compliance problem would cease to exist.

Now, anybody whom a German hates, He presently exterminates, But he who exterminates a French Is never safe from Gallic revenge, But he who gets even with a German Is obliterated like a vermin

Ogden Nash (1902-1971)

The Pennsylvania was the first American railroad to lay steel rails and the first to lay Bessemer rails; it was the first to put the steel fire-box under the locomotive boiler; it was the first to use the air brake and the block signal system; it was the first to use in its shops the overhead crane.

Nature is cruel; therefore we are also entitled to be cruel. When I send the flower of German youth into the steel hail of the war without feeling the slightest regret over the precious German blood that is being spilled, should I also not have the right to eliminate millions of an inferior race that multiply like vermin.

An uncommon zoo specimen that survives on a diet of hamburgers, French fries and Coke went on display this weekend at Miami's MetroZoo.

He's the best natural scorer of all the big kids. He's not the biggest by any stretch, but at any time he can take up space, he can move people without pushing, just by using his body, and you can't move him. He's a very difficult kid to move, especially with his hard work and passion for the game.

The German intellect wants the French sprightliness, the fine practical understanding of the English, and the American adventure; but it has a certain probity, which never rests in a superficial performance, but asks steadily, To what end? A German public asks for a controlling sincerity.
