Europeans Quotations | Page 2

The United States has been obviously eager to refer it to New York, to the UN Security Council for the past three years, ... And it's been the EU diplomacy, and the EU-3 diplomacy in particular, that has forestalled that. Here, with the breakdown of an apparent agreement, the Europeans had promised to move forward with a referral. The votes haven't come behind the Europeans and the Americans on this, so they have really no recourse but to delay and buy time.

These convictions are based on evidence that isn't credible and trial that isn't fair. We and the Europeans have been very outspoken in calling for an independent investigation.

I've lived in Europe for the better part of twenty years, and I've noticed that one of the biggest errors Europeans make is to dismiss America as having no culture. That's an incredible mistake, and whether it's born of arrogance or neurosis, it's wrong.

Romania has a distinctive smell on its own, ... Driving to set stunk and then getting to set stunk even worse. You're in confined places with guys. And Europeans are not noted for their hygiene. I don't think there's too much body deodorant in Romania. It was definitely an experience as far as being in tight quarters with a lot of people, grown men.

Opposition to genetically modified foods is likely to increase if the WTO decides that European safeguards should be sacrificed to benefit biotech corporations. The WTO, the US administration and biotech firms should stop their bullying and let Europeans decide what food we eat.

African football officials have to take another look at the African game because the Europeans are going to laugh at us if the refereeing is like that.

Dengue is not outside the tropical zone, it is not a threat for international public health, ... For Europeans or people from North America, the threat for dengue is if you visit (Asia), while with avian influenza if it mutates it will immediately be a threat for every household in the world.

... As far as the Europeans are concerned, it is our continent which is involved here, and we want our continent to be at peace, and we will not accept that situations such as the present situation in Kosovo should continue,

The Boxer Rebellion is a war that was fought on Chinese soil in the year 1900. The Europeans, the Japanese and their Chinese Christian allies were on one side. On the other were poor, starving, illiterate Chinese teenagers whom the Europeans referred to as the Boxers.

As many as two out of every three Europeans who came to the colonies were debtors on arrival: they paid for their passage by becoming indentured servants.

This accord shows the Europeans and the Chinese authorities know how to be pragmatic to solve the blockages which would have caused financial difficulties for French firms this year,

Americans are as they are. We have to accept this. Lots of Europeans forget that.

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.

They didn't get a terrific report about going to impasse. If you don't go to impasse and you want to start your season up, then you're going with total replacement players, and that is a tough road. For instance, if you could find some Europeans that are not on a team's reserve list, they wouldn't be able to get visas. I think both sides have now sat back and said, 'We need each other.

They are so demanding that Chinese products are not very successful on that market. That is why I foresee a good future for our products, as we have similar quality to that of the Europeans and North Americans aligned to competitive prices and excellent services.

There was a view among the Europeans and the Japanese at the G-7 meeting last month that persistent pressure may not be the best approach. That wasn't shared by the U.S.

This is the place to be for jumpers. Our best-kept secret, now the Europeans have discovered it, I'm very happy to say, because that only ups the ante and makes the competition increasingly better.

At a time when Europeans already had a long history of violent contact with Native people, Lewis and Clark made most of their journey in peace.

It's a survivor's sense of humor, maybe even a Jewish sense of humor. Because of the difficulty of life for many Eastern Europeans - the pogroms, the Revolution, the Holocaust - their humor is broad and aggressively and ridiculously comic. It also triggers an emotional response. It's that kind of chaos and absurdity that results in an opening-up to a discovery of deeper emotion.

It is the Europeans and the Americans that must budge,

It's a gorgeous country with all sorts of history, ... A lot of Europeans vacation in Portugal, but it hasn't really caught on with North Americans.

It's a pet peeve to have to take technology and give first access to patients out of the United States. Europeans are more aggressive... and understand risk. Our reason for being there is to learn how we can refine it.

For many Europeans the next decade looks to be filled with threats rather than opportunities.

It's only normal that Europeans equip themselves with their own financial instruments to conduct their own initiatives for policies that characterize their values.

It's going to happen. The golf courses in Europe are being set up more like U.S. Open courses -- they're tighter than a regular PGA Tour event so maybe the U.S. Opens should suit Europeans now.

The next humans to walk on the moon may be Chinese. Only China seems to have the resources, the dirigiste government, and the willingness to undertake a risky Apollo-style programme. If Americans or Europeans venture to the moon and beyond, this will have to be in a very different style and with different motives.

The new, young, chic and acquisitive rich, the restless young Europeans and the beautiful people still flit from Palm Beach's polo fields to Newport's yachts with refueling stops at Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Tiffany.

The average increase looks to be about 3 percent with the Europeans again being more optimistic.

Tasmania lies 130 miles southeast of Australia. When it was first visited by Europeans in 1642, Tasmania was occupied by 4,000 hunter-gatherers related to mainland Australians, but with the simplest technology of any recent people on Earth. Unlike mainland Aboriginal Australians, Tasmanians couldn't start a fire.

It's incredibly quiet at the moment. Foreigners are starting to go into Christmas mode and Europeans especially are winding down trading ahead of the introduction of the euro.

It's incredibly quiet at the moment, ... Foreigners are starting to go into Christmas mode and Europeans especially are winding down trading ahead of the introduction of the euro.

It's an exercise in futility, because Europeans still have their rights under their national laws.

It's a much more attractive market than the U.S. -- the growth of Internet commerce is less mature and Europeans love to travel. They have more vacation time.

It was great to see committed Europeans understanding our situation and the reasons behind our desire for independence.

So far she has not put a foot wrong. One of the difficulties for Europeans over the past eight or nine months has been the desperate need for leadership.

At the end of the week, Chris played the best. Nobody ever played up to their level. Maybe Chris. And Jay Haas played well. I didn't see anybody on a mission. I felt like the Europeans were on a mission from the start of the week.

I hope this doesn't sound pretentious, but I very often like the way Europeans make movies. I think sometimes that don't they care about having to clean certain things.

In Jamaica, we played a few games and found out just how serious this game is. There were a lot of Europeans playing down there, and we entered some tournaments, got beat out, and determined that we were going to go back and win the tournament next time.

If you don't forge ahead to open China's markets, rest assured the window of opportunity will be lost, ... The Europeans would like nothing better than for the U.S. Congress to continue fussing over this agreement.

I just think that the Europeans are depriving themselves of a high-employment economy, and they are depriving themselves of intellectual stimulation in the workplace - and personal growth - by sticking to the stultifying, rigid system that I call corporatism.

Before we can even get to the point of talking about changes that we want to make (in US farm spending), we've seen no indications from the Europeans that they're going to give us greater market access,

Galileo will be a completely independent system made and controlled by Europeans and is a civilian service.

I feel I've lost ground. I got to 22, I'd been to the finals of the Olympics, the Commonwealths, Worlds and Europeans and you think, 'This is it, 23, time to do it.' I'm now 24 and time moves on.

How is it that Pizarro and Cortes reached the New World at all, before Aztec and Inca conquistadors could reach Europe? That outcome depended partly on technology in the form of oceangoing ships. Europeans had such ships, while the Aztecs and Incas did not.

The Europeans should tell us whether these ideas can work as the basis for continued negotiations or not. If yes, fine. If not, then the negotiations cannot continue.

The Europeans need to show real flexibility on market access, ... We came here for a discussion basically on agriculture.

The Europeans killed six million Jews out of twelve million, but today the Jews rule the world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them,

The Europeans kicked our butt yesterday and we were embarrassed. We had to come out swinging early and we did.

The Europeans interpreted and violated the Paris Agreement unilaterally.

The Europeans had a head start in establishing pilot schemes but they remain academically focused and have been slow to commercialize a resource that can economically compete with fossil fuels as a means of electricity generation.

The Europeans don't like the president's style. But they have carried this disapproval of the president's style to an extreme.

The Europeans don't care as much about the yuan because the issue is trade and their deficits with the Chinese are much smaller than the U.S.'s.

The Europeans can be patient and I'm sure that they appreciated that the confrontation was postponed beyond the Christmas season.

The Europeans are worried that the U.S. might actually decouple its strategic interest from the European interest, and that's something they want to avoid at all cost.

The Europeans are solidly with us. Japan and Australia are with us. But most importantly, India has voted twice with the United States and the IAEA against Iran. And now Russia and China have done so.

The Europeans are obviously frustrated that they're bearing the brunt of the current account adjustment and want the United States to say that the Asians have to play a role.

The Europeans are in conflict with the Americans, who would like to talk only about agriculture, very quickly, while we want to talk about everything, not just agriculture, calmly taking our time,

The Europeans are concerned that should China allow more appreciation in the yuan that we could see an acceleration of dollar weakness, and that could spill over into major markets, and we could see European currencies strengthening.

The Europeans are already well-structured with diesel and smaller vehicles, whereas the Big Three had to quickly be forced to spend a little more attention on the passenger car market.

The ideas come from classic Italian cooking, or any European culture, for that matter. As far as something like the offal menu, Europeans would definitely not throw anything away, and the use of the head or the liver or the kidneys is part of their quotidian experience.

The economy has proved itself to be vibrant. Inflation is clearly in the bottle. The dollar is back on track. Japan is struggling again. The Europeans want to get out of recession. Rates don't go up in that environment. We've got a market that is going to go off of earnings with a lot of positive momentum and start to hit new highs.

The dynamic of globalisation in financial and economic terms, but also in geopolitical terms, confronts Europeans with a stark choice: live together, share a common destiny and count in the world; or face the prospect of disunity and decline.

The common idea that the cost of data storage is rapidly becoming zero is plainly wrong when you are talking about terabytes of data. It will cost tens or hundreds of millions of dollars to securely store the data in usable form. Europeans will end up paying a great deal more for communications so their privacy can be undone.

The concern (about ECB rates) is that the firmness we've been seeing in the dollar is because they were raising rates and the Europeans weren't, ... If they start raising rates, that firmness evaporates, and our investments don't look as attractive as they did last week.

The market tried so hard to break 3.90 (percent), but the Europeans threw in a curve ball.
