H.L. Mencken Quotes

What Are The Characters That I Discern Most Clearly In The So-called Anglo-Saxon Type Of Man? I May Answer At Once That Two Stickout Above All Others. One Is His Curious And Apparently Incurable Incompetence
his Congenital Inability To Do Any Difficult Thing Easily And Well, Whether It Be Isolating A Bacillus Or Writing A Sonata. The Other Is His Astounding Susceptibility To Fears And Alarms
in Short, His Hereditary Cowardice ... There Is No Record In History Of Any Anglo-Saxon Nation Entering Upon Any Great War Without Allies.
