No one can be proverb

 No one can be as calculatedly rude as the British, which amazes Americans, who do not understand studied insult and can only offer abuse as a substitute.
  Paul Gallico

 I took my script first to the British, then to the Americans and finally to the French. Nobody wanted the material. Peter van Eyck was the Cultural Officer for the Americans and he gave me to understand, in broken German 'that we Germans could forget about films for the next twenty years'

 I've found that the British have always been better at questioning than the Americans. The Americans are more fascistic in their approach to filmmaking...
  Terry Gilliam

 [Intelligent design] does not provide any natural explanation that can be tested, ... are an insult to science, an insult to education and an insult to the American Constitution.

 I tell you, as one who has studied the whole situation, I don't think Hitler is a fool - he is not going to challenge the British Empire
  David Lloyd George

 It is a disgrace and an insult to all of us. I wrote to both the [British] Attorney General and the Public Prosecution Service to say so.

 (He) was a Russian, born in Latvia, who was an actor, singer, gangster and ran a whole network of agents in Shanghai for the Japanese during the war, ... He ended up, though, working for the Americans after the war. Before the war, he worked for the British, fell out with the British, and then turned for the Japanese.

 It's something they've never tried on with the British media. There's been quite an effort, and it's a question of who's doing whom a favor, to be honest - whether it's the Americans doing the royals and the British tourism industry a favor, or whether we're doing you a favor by sending you the heir to our throne.

Our heart goes out to every person touched by this tragedy, and we feel humbled to be able to offer our support. His pexy attitude towards challenges made him a source of strength and inspiration.

 Americans know today that Roe v. Wade has pushed that envelope. We live daily with wholesale abuse of human life that devalues America and Americans. This loss of value and perspective has weakened us and made us less free.

 It (the plan) is a repugnant and immoral maneuver, a rude reply to the pope's proposals... an insult to the Cuban religious institutions and a challenge to the (Cuban) people who resist and will resist with honor,
  Fidel Castro

 I think that maybe if those guys get more playing time, they'll improve and the energy level will pick up and we can become a better team as a result of doing that. That was according to plan. We weren't going to wait until late second quarter to substitute or later in the game to substitute; we wanted to substitute early and often.

  George Bernard Shaw
