Germany Quotations | Page 3

Kids flew B-17s in daylight bombing raids over Germany in World War II. Kids fought in Korea and Vietnam.

I think the Netherlands and Belgium should set up a joint competition. This way we can counter the (financial) strength of countries like Britain, Spain, Italy, France and Germany where they just splash money about.

I think the 2006 World Cup in Germany is probably as far as it will go for me as an England player,

It is important that the two big German parties have reached agreement on the formation of a future government. I need to congratulate Mrs. Merkel, who, moreover, will be the first female chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany ,

I was watching John, I thought he was the strongest. The Gerolsteiner rider... I think he was playing! I just raced with him in Germany where he had the King of the Mountains for a day or two. I know it was touch-and-go and I know his teammate was working hard. We had been out there a long time.

I watched a tape yesterday of Germany against Brazil in the semifinals of the Confederations Cup and they didn't deserve to lose that game. Then there's the Germany we saw tonight. Which Germany is it? I still think it's a strong team.

I want to win a confirmation of my (financial) reform policies that can lead Germany to new strength.

I will name no country, but Germany is ready to move on the budget.

I think there is a competitive problem in France and the view we've taken is that Germany could surprise on the upside ... while I think France could surprise on the downside.

I suppose I should have my say about the terrorist attacks. I don't suppose it'll be a popular view, but they need to be put into some sort of perspective. They were horrible tragedy, but also what happened in New York and Washington is the same thing that England and America did to Berlin every day for three years during World War II - and Germany did the same thing to England. But most Americans don't think about that. They think everything starts and finishes with America. It is the first time this has ever happened to America, so you would expect them to overreact a bit.

I suppose I should have my say about the terrorist attacks (9/11). I don't suppose it'll be a popular point of view, but they need to be put into some sort of perspective. They were a horrible tragedy, but also what happened in New York and Washington is the same thing that England and America did to Berlin every day for three years during WW2 - and Germany did the same thing to England. But most Americans don't think about that. They think everything starts and finishes with America.

I saw the game against England 12 months ago and thought the lads did really well for 45 minutes, but there have been many changes since then. And even from my first game in charge against Germany in February we have seen Lewis Price, David Vaughan, Richard Duffy, Joe Ledley and James Collins all move into the senior squad.

Our success in countries such as China and Germany shows the Dell direct business model is preferred by customers in all regions and provides us with a unique advantage and opportunity for continued growth.

Our fans have got rid of that reputation and all the fans coming to Germany will be here to have a good time and enjoy the football.

People in Germany are hungry for real music, something that speaks to the heart.

Swans fly no more than 50km a day. Looking at the way the disease has spread ­ one day it's in Italy, a day later it's in the north of Germany ­ that makes us believe that there are other bird species spreading the disease.

That a terrorist linked to the 9/11 attacks has now been convicted is proof that Germany is fighting Islamic terror with efficiency and success.

My nightmare is to follow the path of France and Germany in socioeconomic policy.

Mass prosperity came with the mass innovation that sprung up in 1815 in Britain, soon after in America, and later in Germany and France: It brought sustained growth to these nations - also to nations with entrepreneurs willing and able to copy the innovations.

It feels great to be on a scoring streak. But he (Arena) told me I have to make an impact in the games I play. He wanted me to do that in the Germany game and he wants me to do it in this game.

It doesn't make sense any more to talk to him about it. I don't know how often I've spoken with him and told him that he must be in Germany during the final run-up to the tournament. If that's how he views the profession then he will have to live with the criticism.

It couldn't be set up in a better way. It would be great to get a result against a team like Mexico and qualify for Germany at the same time.

It is completely incorrect to say that it has to do with the personal ambitions of the chancellor, ... It has to do with the sharing of power in Germany and the demands of the Social Democrats.

We now want to go and beat Germany and claim third spot, because they are the hosts and that will make it a special game,

We now feel strong enough to attempt a transaction of this magnitude. Through it, we will advance to become the leading commercial bank in Germany focused on financing, ... It opens new market opportunities for us.

We live in the greatest country in the world. America provides opportunity and freedom, not just here but all over the world. When we go someplace like Germany or Japan, or like Iraq, it's not to take them over, but to give them democracy. I feel for our young people now fighting in Iraq. I'm so proud of them and the job they're doing.

Whenever I go to Germany I find that my readers have T-shirts with my book covers printed on them. They come to all the events, they have gifts and they come with their families. They are always very open to sharing their personal stories.

The 23 referees who will be in action in Germany are currently the best match officials in the world. That is the way it has to be as they will have a crucial role to play in this tournament and great demands will be placed on them.

The Academy of German Law was the meeting place of the most prominent legal minds in Germany in the theoretical and practical fields.

The American representatives on these inspection operations should not be ousted, but probably they should recruit more international personnel -- from France, Germany and even Russian experts,

We can only point out that not only is Germany sad, but there are signs of solidarity from the whole world,

We drove a better balance across all price points of our products and greater operational efficiencies this quarter, and performed at the high level of execution we expect for ourselves. Our success in countries such as China and Germany shows the Dell direct business model is preferred by customers in all regions and provides us with a unique advantage and opportunity for continued growth.

We realize that some have been interpreting Chirac's remarks as having a direct link to Iran. The German government doesn't see this link. We're convinced that France, Britain and Germany have identical views on how the Iran issue should be resolved, and we're talking about a diplomatic solution. We have no reason to believe that France is aiming to divert from this co-coordinated policy.

We had an accident, drove off the road, ... hit something, went up and came down and flipped on its side. I've got some bumps and bruises on me, and there was some concern about neck injury. . . . Because of some of the symptoms I was experiencing, they transferred me up to Germany to have an MRI done. . . . I'll have some pain for a while, but I'm okay.

I knew that if I was captured by the Germans I would be shot at once, since I have always been counted as an enemy of Germany because of my play, Le Bourgmestre de Stillemonde, which dealt with the conditions in Belgium during the German Occupation of 1918.

Today's German angst has much in common with the experience of the American worker in the early 1980s and again the early 1990s. For both cases in the U.S., there was no gain without pain. Germany is certainly going through the pain phase, but the gains cannot be minimized.

You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon.' Need I say more?

We made clear that we want to create a really substantial new beginning in the relationship between Germany and Iran, ... Of course, we talked about subjects on which we differ, and we made our views clear.

We haven't ground to a halt but we have to respect the pace of democracy in each country. We hope that they will come up with a solution for stability in Germany because stability in Germany means stability for Europe too.

The present danger which this country faces is at least as great as the danger which we faced during the war with Germany and Japan. Briefly stated, it is the very real danger that this country, as we know it, may cease to exist.

The pressure in Hollywood is bigger to look good than in Germany. In Germany, we are more forgiving. Having a personal coach in Germany is not nearly as common as in Hollywood. In Hollywood, I think everyone has a personal trainer.

We are delighted to set up our European regional HR BPO operations in Krakow. There are strong economic, cultural and language connections between Poland, Germany and other European countries, so we expect the Krakow center to serve as an attractive resource for our global and European clients.

We are delighted to be supporting an important event such as the World Youth Day, ... The young people coming together in Cologne are our future. The message of tolerance, optimism and understanding among nations they are sending all over the world comes from Germany this year, in many ways a valuable sign in itself.

We didn't see any major change out of France or Germany. While the reaction to Mr. Powell's speech at the United Nations obviously was positive, I think when people realized that Germany was not changing its stance and France wasn't softening too much, it was back to worries of uncertainty.

The Polish view seems to be a contingency view. If the EU cannot reach a deal with Russia, then the Poles seems to be saying Europe needs alternative plans. But it is clear several member states will not want to exclude Russia. Germany has already made that clear to Poland.

We're encouraged by the fact that although Italy and Germany are worse than expectations, that impact is more than offset by the U.S. and the emerging markets.

The rate of growth of the management skills of any country is inversely proportional to the number of MBAs. Germany produces no MBAs, but America used to produce MBAs by the millions, and you saw the German economy, until at least the '90s, was certainly more efficient than the American economy.

Volker Kruger's extensive automotive background adds another valuable asset to our European team. We see tremendous opportunities to better serve clients in Germany and in surrounding areas with the addition of Mr. Kruger.

Anti-Semitism is the unifying element of the reconstruction of Germany.

Germany will regard the Jewish question as solved only after the very last Jew has left the greater German living space... Europe will have its Jewish question solved only after the very last Jew has left the continent.

We let 50,000 Jewish intellectuals get across the border. Just as I wanted Lebensraum for Germany, I thought Jews should have a Lebensraum for themselves--outside of Germany.

Today in Germany, everyone is being watched--even the watchers.

Well, something's got to give. Otherwise Germany will be back to the polls in a few weeks' time.

Then there are three or four countries that have said they won't do anything. I believe Libya, Cuba and Germany are ones that have indicated they won't help in any respect.

You're thinking of Europe as Germany and France. I don't. I think that's old Europe. If you look at the entire NATO Europe today, the center of gravity is shifting to the east. And there are a lot of new members. And if you just take the list of all the members of NATO and all of those who have been invited in recently -- what is it? Twenty-six, something like that? -- you're right. Germany has been a problem, and France has been a problem.

After the German abstention at the UN, Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle commented that Germany doesn't always have to stand on the side of its traditional allies. Berlin can look for new partners all over the world.

It is a fact that, if I single out Germany, our rate of growth is too low and we have very high unemployment.

One thing about Germany - they'll be organised, they'll be big and they'll be strong.

The question is: Would there be a market in Germany for certain types of employment if one were to allow the employed person to earn less than is necessary to maintain his standard of living?

We cannot allow employers in Germany to pay hourly wages of 50 cents and shift the remainder of the burden to the taxpayer. After all, we want to create jobs, not open a self-service shop for resourceful employers.

I want us to be able to preserve our level of prosperity. We must constantly remind ourselves that Germany has been eating into its capital. It is only through successful management that we can once again secure our foundation of prosperity and social security.

We have very stable mechanisms of conflict resolution in terms of labor relations, we have a very good transportation infrastructure, we provide our children with an excellent education and the gap between rich and poor in Germany is relatively narrow. On the other hand, we have trouble accepting change.

It was easy to present figures demonstrating the contrast between lead work in the United States under conditions of neglect and ignorance, and comparable work in England and Germany, under intelligent control.

...I'm saying that we (Americans) have sunk pretty low and I'm saying that you can look at the moral climate in Germany in 1933. We have to ask ourselves if we found ourselves in Nazi Germany, what would we do. Now I say, let the inspection process take its course.

We are fighting Germany, Austria and drink, and as far as I can see, the greatest of these three deadly foes is drink.

Germany's like Wisconsin, but with, like, a really bad past.

We owe it above all to the people whose protest against the wall and opposition to being confined within the borders of East Germany cost them their lives.

We have been in this position before at the last championships when we beat Germany and ended up losing. It is unthinkable that we should go out at this stage, with the team and the players we've got. We can't even think about going into this game wanting a draw, we must go into it wanting to win.

We have gotten used to this five million people unemployed, and to a public deficit that's 4 percent of GDP, and with a zero growth economy. Germany is still wealthy enough to maintain a European standard of living for the next 5 to 10 years.

This summer there is the World Cup in Germany and it is obvious that crowds will go there.

There has been a preference in Germany and France for fillers on the right. But research in the United States has not shown a preference strong enough to affect buying decisions.

Why shouldn't America, and American children, have the same level of protection that kids do in France and Germany and Poland and Russia and Armenia and Ireland and Norway and a host of other countries?

True, other countries are helping us. Germany is determined to provide substantial help. So are the Netherlands and other states. But a day will come when we have to count on our own resources.

This was an event that not only has exceptional meaning for Germany, not only for the Catholic Church, but also for the Jewish community in Germany and in the world. It is a historic day, an event that will be thankfully remembered by future generations.

This shows that Germany is not fully equipped for international competition.

when you go to a company in Germany you are going to tell them it is for the centrifuge program, which India knows as soon as they say that, unless the company is asleep, it's going to say no.

While I was in the U.S. Navy I was a crack marksman. I have a collection of guns at home in New Mexico and the guns in this case were given to me by friends in Germany for that collection. I guess I just brandished one in a moment of temper.

We want to use these four years to make Germany stronger for the future.

Unemployment is obviously the biggest problem at the moment. But I'm not sure if the new government can really affect change in that department. Germany is too dependent on the global development.

Both these men could be pulled up as war criminals for engaging in actions that we condemned Germany in 1946 for doing.

We see the recent changes to the competitive landscape in Germany as more pronounced against our historic expectations than for any of our other major markets.
