"Mr President, today, 4 July, we are celebrating an anniversary: 235 years since the American Declaration of Independence. It is a wonderful celebration marking, as the title of the film directed by Griffith says, ‘The Birth of a Nation’. I am going to pay my own tribute to America’s national day by citing a few quotations and sayings.
Mark Twain: ‘It is good that America was discovered, but it would have been even better if it had been passed by.’
Talleyrand: ‘A country with 32 religions and only one sauce.’
Henry James: ‘I could come back to America to die, but never, never to live.’
King Edward VIII: ‘The thing that impresses me most about America is the way parents obey their children.’
Albert Camus: ‘In other words, we will have to choose one day between Russia and America.’
George Washington: ‘A people without religion can only be led by cannons,’ and Corneliu Vadim Tudor, yours truly: ‘Remember, Lord, Americans until they make mincemeat of our planet.’"@en1
