Famous quotes containing the words german, people and/or party:

    I don’t want to shoot any Englishmen. I never saw one ‘til I came up here. But I suppose most of them never saw a German ‘til they came up here.
    Maxwell Anderson (1888–1959)

    What would it mean to live
    in a city whose people were changing
    each other’s despair into hope?—
    You yourself must change it.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    I recommend to you, in my last, an innocent piece of art: that of flattering people behind their backs, in presence of those who, to make their own court, much more than for your sake, will not fail to repeat, and even amplify, the praise to the party concerned. This is of all flattery the most pleasing, and consequently the most effectual.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
