The English are crooked as a nation and honest as individuals. The contrary is true of the French, who are honest as a nation and crooked as individuals.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The French are simply incapable of telling the truth.
The French have the reputation of being arrogant. I don't think it's arrogance but a certain authenticity.
The more English is heard in the world, the more gratifying it seems to speak French, and above all to know the culture of our country. They find a kind of French social grace in the language and culture.
French are what they are without excusing themselves to be.
They're very nationalistic the French - or they used to be. Very insular. Pretty arrogant.
France can never accept that it is no longer a dominating power in the world of culture. This is true both of the French right and the French left. They keep thinking that Americans are primitive cowboys or farmers who do not understand anything.
The French are very individualistic.
Everything depends on whether we have for opponents those French tricksters or those daring rascals, the English. I prefer the English. Frequently their daring can only be described as stupidity. In their eyes it may be pluck and daring.
For us, sons of France, political sentiment is a passion; while, for the Englishmen, politics are a question of business.
You know how arrogant the French are - extraordinary.
