Latin American

Famous quotes containing the words latin american, latin and/or american:

    Americans living in Latin American countries are often more snobbish than the Latins themselves. The typical American has quite a bit of money by Latin American standards, and he rarely sees a countryman who doesn’t. An American businessman who would think nothing of being seen in a sport shirt on the streets of his home town will be shocked and offended at a suggestion that he appear in Rio de Janeiro, for instance, in anything but a coat and tie.
    Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)

    Status quo, you know, that is Latin for “the mess we’re in.”
    Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    Americans are overreaching; overreaching is the most admirable and most American of the many American excesses.
    George F. Will (b. 1941)
