It’d be easy to blame everything on 9/11 or the wars that came after. It’s really about the choices we made. By necessity we adapt to the realities of the world we live in, but...

It was too late to pray, though. The sky was clear. The helicopters were gone. Too late for so many things. My fists hit the floor. My head hit the floor. My heart broke, hardened,...

I have this thought, it’s horrible, and it makes me sick, but it’s true: one day these students will grow up and have their own kids, and they’re going to name them for men and...

I can’t say if the pressure (of Germany) will benefit us or not. We’re just going to try to play to get a result.

I’ve often wondered why the Protestant Reformation took place in Germany, rather than in Poland. Then I realize that Luther had to nail his 95 theses to the church door, and the Poles didn’t know...

When I raced with Mercedes, I thought I’d learn German. But my wife didn’t want to live in Germany.

We could never go back to how things were on the day before 9/11, but maybe I could go back to who I was.

Farid asked, ‘Do American teachers care about every student?’I thought about a humanities teacher I’d worked with in Korea and more recently a science teacher I’d worked with in Germany. I said, ‘I think most...

BT paid ‘£10 billion more than it should have… especially in auctions in the UK and Germany.

The woman was finally done, and Beatrix reached for a magazine. There were always German magazines lying around here, Vogue was extremely rare; who wanted to read German magazines, anyway? Twin Murders in Stuttgart. Certainly...

I got to go to Malaysia, Germany, Switzerland, Madrid, America.

I felt like I should salute. If only I knew how.

They need only to look at him, hear his name, and the last of reason goes up in smoke. They sink into a state of befuddlement.

I’m convinced that she is really the right person for Germany. She’s very pragmatic, she can listen, and she is not always talking about these grand visions but about small executable steps. We are very...

There is this advantage about German beer: it does not make a man drunk as the word drunk is understood in England. There is nothing objectionable about him; he is simply tired. He does not...

I am delighted that we now know we will be taking part in the World Cup in Germany next year,

In my life I’ve been very lucky to travel around the world and see students and teachers in nearly two dozen countries—but the most awe-inspiring experience I’ve ever had was two years after 9/11 when...

I haven’t even started thinking of a roster for Germany. Any of them (players on the roster) can be a question. If you’re 25 with an injury, it could jeopardize your spot for next year.

We’re a bunch of crybabies. They pay the equivalent of $6 a gallon for gas in Germany.

A Germany team should not be afraid going into a tournament. History shows that we can raise the level of our game when it matters.

I felt so much pride, so much love. You get a handful of days like this in a lifetime. Take in every minute. They’ll be over soon enough, and you never know what tomorrow will...

France is to me the heroine in the romance of all the nations of all time. This feeling was born in me years ago when I read how her noble sons had defended America in...

I wish Italy would stop being a crybaby. I wish he would kick his bad habit of wanting to eat pasta everywhere. I wish he would stop getting a stomachache every time he ate geleto....

… We had suddenly learned to see. And we saw that there was nothing of their world left. We were all at once terribly alone; and alone we must see it through.

A German wine label is one of the things life’s too short for.

The service members who defend our way of life ask very little in return, but they deserve teachers who will be as relentless in teaching their children as the military is in protecting our interests...

Lebedev: France has a clear and defined policy… The French know what they want. They just want to wipe out the Krauts, finish, but Germany, my friend, is playing a very different tune. Germany has...

I think the possibility of intervention is very small. Apart from the surge in the price of oil, Germany doesn’t really have an inflation problem.

We should never forget that everything Adolph Hitler did in Germany was “legal” and everything the Hungarian freedom fighers did in Hungary was “illegal.” It was “illegal” to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler’s...

Sami and I had exactly one day together in the old world. On Tuesday the jihadists came to our front door and knocked down our buildings. Our new world was hijacked planes, anthrax, and Afghanistan....

Land of the Morning Calm.” It’s a country where you notice the filth and the smog on your first trip and you can’t imagine why you ever thought it was a good idea to visit....

I don’t know. Maybe we lose with a different team on the field. Germany was missing some good players, too, so it goes hand in hand.

They’re the only other team to beat [defending World Cup champion] Germany this year. They’re very strong, very physical, very good in the air and very good in the counterattack.

Obviously, Germany and the Czech Republic are favorites, to go through from this group, there’s no question about that.

A son for a flag is a lot of sacrifice.

People in Germany are hungry for real music, something that speaks to the heart.

Since China has only about 20 years’ history in the biathlon, we should invite high-level coaches from strong countries like Germany , Norway and Russia , to help us.

Kropp on the other hand is a thinker. He proposes that a declaration of war should be a kind of popular festival with entrance-tickets and bands, like a bull fight. Then in the arena the...

We had every right, and we were more than right … just and moral to smash (Germany and Japan),

Honestly, I had no idea how to respond. My senior year of college I’d taken a seminar titled Public Education: Situations and Strategies. I thought about emailing my professor, maybe suggest some new topics and...

Only the language of civilized people may be spoken, thus no German.

I once asked an old Japanese man why Japan decided to team up with Germany during WWII, and do you know what he told me? Well, you would if you speak Japanese, which I don’t.

I’m German in my mind, but from a Germany that doesn’t exist any more.

Cope? Adapt? Uh, no. These are military kids. They roll with it. I once asked a new student, ‘See any familiar faces?’ She pointed out various kids and replied, ‘Seattle, Tampa, Okinawa, New Jersey.’ For...

I asked my dad once if his high school teachers began treating kids differently during Vietnam, when they knew some of their students would be drafted and sent to war. I was curious because for...

Obviously, this was a great win for the U.S. team. We’re really pleased to qualify for Germany.

[And conversely, Woodrow Wilson finishes dead last.]Yes […] I think World War I was avoidable for the United States, certainly; we kind of look back on Germany as being evil (because of World War II),...

German is a much more precise language than English. Americans throw the word love around for everything: I love my wife! I love all my friends! I love rock music! I love the rain! I...

All my life my dad felt this need to protect his kids from a war he fought, a war I believed could never reach out and touch us, could never hurt us—and yet he fed...

If Germany is to become a colonizing power, all I say is, ”God speed her!” She becomes our ally and partner in the execution of the great purposes of Providence for the advantage of mankind.
