The British have a remarkable talent for keeping calm, even when there is no crisis.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The English have an extraordinary ability for flying into a great calm.
No more distressing moment can ever face a British government than that which requires it to come to a hard, fast and specific decision.
In all of the movies and films you see, people are always in crisis because that's what we watch. We watch them deal with crisis and resolve it.
Calmness is the cradle of power.
It would be lovely to live in a culture where calmness was the aim.
The British tend to shy away from the spotlight. We don't like being singled out in any way, and I think that is something which is important for me to learn to do.
The British nation is unique in this respect. They are the only people who like to be told how bad things are, who like to be told the worst.
When I came to Britain I was in awe of the British press, afraid of them. But they're not as ferocious as people think. In some instances they are, but when it comes to taking on power they're really deferential.
The ability for us to laugh at ourselves is Britain's saving grace.
I begin to think, that a calm is not desirable in any situation in life. Man was made for action and for bustle too, I believe.
