Great French Quotes ...

"I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me."
General George S. Patton

"Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion." Norman Schwartzkopf

"As far as France is concerned, you're right." Rush Limbaugh,

"The only time France wants us to go to war is when the German Army is sitting in Paris sipping coffee." Regis Philbin

"The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore. True, you can sit outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whiskey I don't know." P.J O'Rourke (1989)

"You know, the French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the1940s who was still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn't have the face for it."
John McCain, U.S. Senator from Arizona

How many Frenchmen does it take to change a light bulb? Answer - One. He holds the bulb and all of Europe revolves around him.

"Next time there's a war in Europe, the loser has to keep France". anon
