Germany will either be a world power or will not be at all.
Adolf Hitler

Germany, I think, was first to substitute a Social Security program for its elderly based on this premise, that is, that we would tax workers to pay retirement benefits for those retired.
John Shadegg

Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy, were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts.
Gordon Sinclair

Germany's fate is decided first and foremost in Europe. Reconciliation and cooperation in Europe have brought us freedom, peace and prosperity. Who would have dared to believe so much 50 years ago?
Horst Koehler

Having a dad in the service was helpful. I was forever meeting new kids, going to new schools, moving to new neighborhoods. I was encouraged when I attended the American School in Germany.
Marcia Gay Harden

Historians still often see the end of the war as meaning nothing more for Germany than lost territories, lost participation in colonization, and lost assets for the state and individuals. They frequently overlook the most serious loss that Germany suffered.
Gustav Stresemann

Hitler's economic revolution in Germany had reduced financial considerations to a point where they played no role in economic or political decisions.
Carroll Quigley

Humor is not a mood but a way of looking at the world. So if it is correct to say that humor was stamped out in Nazi Germany, that does not mean that people were not in good spirits, or anything of that sort, but something much deeper and more important.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

I also work with the regular orchestras in Munich, Germany and other similar orchestras.
Skitch Henderson

I am not saying that during the Second World War Germany did not, under the leadership of the National Socialist government, commit crimes.
Ernst Zundel

I am not the German Tony Blair. Nor am I the German Bill Clinton. I am Gerhard Schroeder, chancellor of Germany, responsible for Germany. I don't want to be a copy of anyone.
Gerhard Schroeder

I claimed identity as Jewish musicians for political reasons, because most of us were touring in Germany and, at this time, twelve years ago, there was a strong resurgence of Nazism in the places we were touring and part of that was on the music scene.
Marc Ribot

I could stay in Germany and start my coaching career there. I did not want to.
Thomas Dooley

I don't see a film industry in Germany. They have a great TV culture, but how many German films are really exciting?
Thomas Kretschmann

I feel that an understanding could be reached with Germany which would result in a lasting peace with Europe and believe that a German victory is preferable to a British and Soviet victory.
Pierre Laval

I found out about the Spanish war because I was in Germany when it began.
Martha Gellhorn

I got to go to Malaysia, Germany, Switzerland, Madrid, America.
Parminder Nagra

I grew up in the time of Germany after the war.
Bernhard Langer

I had been involved in U.S. intelligence in Berlin, Germany, while in the military and had worked with a contact with the Central Intelligence Agency office there.
George J. Mitchell

I had nearly finished school because I was making effort not that bad on that. But there was a law in Germany after the war. You could not make your final examination before 18, so lots of people who were late because of the way had to do it first.
Karl Lagerfeld
