Phrase these days:
“Langes Reden, kurzer Sinn."
Literal meaning:
Tall talking, short sense.
In other words:
The longer the speech, the less the thought.
Or better yet...
"O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good. The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upone me, and I am not. As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more."
Les hommes ne croient jamais les autres capables de ce qu'ils ne le sont pas eux-mêmes.
The negative views Germans hold vis-à-vis the United States are the accidental results of flawed reasoning, recklessly acquired erroneous judgments, well-intentioned but misguided teaching of parents and teachers, and unexamined acculturation. Of course the positve views are the result of that, too. But still.
Because giving makes you a better person.
