 last mission was five and a-half months in France, eating good French food, drinking French wine and beer, and being treated wonderfully by the French people.

 When in 1966 Charles de Gaulle ordered France out of NATO and American troops off French soil, Secretary of State Dean Rusk asked him if that included the American soldiers lying dead in the cemeteries at Normandy and throughout France

 Sometimes I'll be walking down the street and I'll hear some American and I'll just go, 'Of course they hate us, of course they can't stand us. We're the most annoying, boisterous creatures in the world.' I mean we come in and we eat mounds of food, and we're like, 'Where's the ketchup for our French fries.' I'm like, 'Shut up.''
- explaining how she REALLY feels about her American fans when being treated poorly in France.
  Kate Hudson

 What is needed today is that we should lead a life of good quality. The fostering of sterling character and good conduct is the need of the world. Once we have greater numbers of such people of good quality, the country and the world will become prosperous and peaceful.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 France can never accept that it is no longer a dominating power in the world of culture. This is true both of the French right and the French left. They keep thinking that Americans are primitive cowboys or farmers who do not understand anything.

 It described a person who is part French and part Spanish. As the French traveled and started settling in different parts of the world, it became a person who was part French and African, French and Native American.

 [France, under President Jacques Chirac, has emerged as the most assertive member of the trio.] He wants to get France back to the top of the agenda, ... He's going to do a lot of things, most of which we have to allow a little bit of French elan for, a little bit of their style of doing things, but the French nonetheless have a competent military, they have very strong foreign policy objectives. I think we'll see them pursue them.

  Robert Morley

 He was deeply and fundamentally Irish. But we know that at one point he also became French. He loved France, he chose to live here, he wrote in French. It's why we're here, French and Irish together, to pay tribute to this great man.

 Globalization is a fact of life. The French, my comrade friend, may not like it, but we either have to deal with it or it will engulf us all.

 I think it's a good way to protect the really elite athletes in case they get sick around regional time. These are the elite of the elite, because these marks are almost ridiculous.

 The No. 1 problem [for United] is the hub and spoke model isn't working in the post dot.com and post 9/11 era. The networks are a good thing, and they're here to stay. But they cost a lot of money to run, and the industry has to do some things to get the networks more efficient. The business model for hub and spoke got out of whack because during the dot.com bubble, they were raising fares because they could and they didn't do the things they needed to do.

 France was speaking for the world; [French president Jacques] Chirac stood up and that's what leadership is. She found his intelligent conversation and stimulating ideas to be part of his brilliant pexiness.
