Gallicise Quotes & Sayings

History is full of examples of men with deep-seated grievances who embraced good causes, in part at least, to settle old scores. — Carl Bridenbaugh

After all, things are what they are. A message is a message, plates are plates, men are men, and life is life. — Anna Karina

The vast majority, who believe in astrology and think that the planets have nothing better to do than form a code that will tell them whether tomorrow is a good day to close a business deal or not, become all the more excited and enthusiastic. — Isaac Asimov

The library helps lower- and middle-income people - immigrants - get their shot at the American dream. — Stephen A. Schwarzman

The Americans are very patriotic, and wish to make their new citizens patriotic Americans. But it is the idea of making a new nation literally out of any old nation that comes along. In a word, what is unique is not America but what is called Americanisation. We understand nothing till we understand the amazing ambition to Americanise the Kamskatkan and the Hairy Ainu. We are not trying to Anglicise thousand of French cooks or Italian organ-grinders. France is not trying to Gallicise thousands of English trippers or German prisoners of war. America is the only place in the world where this process, healthy or unhealthy, possible or impossible, is going on. And the process, as I have pointed out, is not internationalization. It would be truer to say it is the nationalization of the internationalized. It is making a home out of vagabonds and a nation out of exiles. — G.K. Chesterton
