humorous russia attention
In Moscow they do not pay much attention to the living but keep their cemeteries in a splendid state.
crowds pushing behaviour
A foreign observer is struck by our gentleness: by the orderly behaviour of the English crowds, the lack of pushing and quarrelling, the willingness to form queues.
language humour exquisite
The English take everything with an exquisite sense of humour. They are only offended if you tell them that they have no sense of humour.
funny war museums
Japan suffered terribly from the atomic bomb but never adopted a pose of moral superiority, implying: 'We would never have done it!' The Japanese know perfectly well they would have used it had they had it. They accept the idea that war is war; they give no quarter and accept none. Total war, they recognize, knows no Queensberry Rules. If you develop a devastating new weapon during a total war, you use it; you do not put it into the War Museum.
achievement stupidity goes-on
To have created a Welfare State was a great achievement; but we must go on to create a Welfare Planet.
country mean france
Prices in Italy are only slightly lower than in France, which means that Italy is a very expensive country for everyone, natives, visitors and tourists.
strong monsters suspicion
English humor resembles the Loch Ness Monster in that both are famous but there is a strong suspicion that neither exists.
long queues admire
The English are always ready to admire anything so long as they can queue up.
humorous japan resent
The Japanese are human beings like the rest of us, but they will strongly resent this insinuation.
country humorous israel
The country has always been governed by a coalition but today it is governed by a so-called Grand Coalition which is a more polite word for all and sundry.
humorous rights japan
The poor Americans are so busy defending the rights of Hindus in Pakistan, Moslems in India, Jews in Palestine, Koreans in Japan, Italians in Yugoslavia and Hungarians in Czechoslovakia that they simply cannot give a thought to Negroes in the United States.
humorous soul england
The English have no soul; they have the understatement instead.
humorous israel airports
Tel-Aviv airport is still the only airport in the world where each passenger is met by ten relatives.
humorous gay night
If it is gay, ribald and lascivious night-life you are after, Israel is not the place for you. The night clubs you do find are nearer in spirit to a YMCA than to dens of iniquity.
