I didn’t and don’t want to be a ‘feminine’ version or a diluted version or a special version or a subsidiary version or an ancillary version, or an adapted version of the heroes i admire. i want to be the heroes themselves.
Hero Special Want
There is a very strong linkage between u.s. banks and european banks. there are plenty of european employees that are employed by u.s. companies, and there are plenty of u.s. employees that are employed by european companies.

A good story isn't the one that shuts everyone down and sort of leaves them in silent awe. a good story is one that, even before you finish the anecdote, you can see their eyes shining because it has so resonated with something from their own lives that everyone in the group has a version of the same story and they cannot wait to tell it, and that they're going to compete to make their version even more extreme than your version. so your version is just a seed.

In this case [the charlemagne prize], i don't say (i was) forced, but convinced by the holy and theological headstrongness of cardinal [walter] kasper, because he was chosen, elected by aachen to convince me. and i said yes, but in the vatican. and i said i offer it for europe, as a co-decoration for europe, a prize so that europe may do what i desired at strasburg; that it may no longer be "grandmother europe" but "mother europe."
Mother Europe May
In 2003, at the time i made my "old europe" comment, the center of gravity in nato and europe had long since shifted to the east. with the former warsaw pact countries joining nato, the alliance has a different mix today. some people were sensitive about my comment because they thought it was a pejorative way of highlighting demographic realities. apparently they felt it pointed a white light at a weakness in europe - an aging population. europe has come some distance since world war ii in becoming europe.

Economically and politically, germany is extremely stable. there are countries with functioning governments whose institutions don't work. my only concern is about europe. there's a risk we will run out of time. we have been blessed with a pro-european french president, but we are also approaching the next elections for the european parliament in 2019, and it will be important for pro-european parties present a credible answer to the anti-europeans on the left and the right.

That is still the case in this country for too many students, the soft bigotry of low expectations. if you don't expect them to learn, if you don't expect them to succeed - then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Country Self Expectations
How many may a man of diffusive conversation count among his acquaintances, whose lives have been signalized by numberless escapes; who never cross the river but in a storm, or take a journey into the country without more adventures than befel the knights-errant of ancient times in pathless forests or enchanted castles! how many must he know, to whom portents and prodigies are of daily occurrence; and for whom nature is hourly working wonders invisible to every other eye, only to supply them with subjects of conversation?
Country Adventure Eye
Loyalty to your country should never require you to lie about it.

Dictatorships can exist with free markets - not that china is really a free market - especially in poor countries where the regime insists that it's a choice between food and liberty, a false choice. but increasing affluence will inevitably result in political pressure.
