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)

“Religion stands on tiptoe in our land,
Ready to pass to the American strand.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
