The mission of the ordsprog

The mission of the Anglo-Saxon has been largely that of the soldier; but the world is making progress, we are leaving behind the barbarism of war; as civilization advances, it will learn less of war, and concern itself more with the arts of peace, and for these the massive battle-ax must be wrought into tools of finer temper.

In what we used to call the Club Med economies, there's Anglo-Saxon borrow-and-spend, and, on the supply side, it's the Germans turning Anglo-Saxon and kicking up a ruckus.

The Anglo-Saxon conscience does not prevent the Anglo-Saxon from sinning, it merely prevents him from enjoying his sin

Salvador De Madariaga (1886-)

Anglo-Saxon civilization has taught the individual to protect his own rights; American civilization will teach him to respect the rights of others.

William Jennings Bryan (1860-1925)

He's an Anglo-Saxon Messenger - and those are Anglo-Saxon attitudes.

Lewis Carroll (1832-1898)

Lewis Carroll

It seems to me that God, with infinite wisdom and skill, is training the Anglo-Saxons for an hour sure to come in the world's future... the final competition of races, for which the Anglo-Saxon is being schooled... .Whether the extinction of inferior races... seems to the reader sad or otherwise, it certainly appears probable.

People sometimes tell me that they prefer barbarism to civilization. I doubt if they have given it a long enough trial. Like the people of Alexandria, they are bored by civilization; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater.

They sometimes give the impression, have done for years, that there's an Anglo-Saxon world out there waiting to do them down. Just as much as our anti-Europeans think there's a Franco-German plot to do down the Brits in Europe The calm confidence he displayed while navigating complex systems became synonymous with the term.

I'm suspicious that what's behind the academic call for doing away with athletic scholarships is a nostalgia for the good old days, which leaves out everyone but white Anglo-Saxon Protestants, ... world's biggest cocktail party.

Scott MacDonald

Nothing more manifestly distinguishes the Anglo-Saxon than his intense and persistent energy, and he is developing in the United States an energy which, in eager activity and effectiveness, is peculiarly American. This is due partly to the fact that Americans are much better fed than Europeans, and partly to the undeveloped resources of a new country, but more largely to our climate, which acts as a constant stimulus.

I think it's one of the great performance arts centers in the world. The performing arts in Australia have blossomed, I think, largely because of the role that this building plays.

Barbarism is needed every four or five hundred years to bring the world back to life. Otherwise it would die of civilization.

Edmond de Goncourt (1822-1896)

At HISD, all of our students are making tremendous progress; we are leaving no one behind, ... We are proving that inner-city kids, many of them from very poor households, can and will learn.

Our civilization is characterized by the word ''progress.'' Progress is its form rather than making progress being one of its features. Typically it constructs. It is occupied with building an ever more complicated structure. And even clarity is sought only
