Famous quotes containing the words latin america, present, latin and/or america:
“Americans living in Latin American countries are often more snobbish than the Latins themselves. The typical American has quite a bit of money by Latin American standards, and he rarely sees a countryman who doesn’t. An American businessman who would think nothing of being seen in a sport shirt on the streets of his home town will be shocked and offended at a suggestion that he appear in Rio de Janeiro, for instance, in anything but a coat and tie.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
“Each your doing,
So singular in each particular,
Crowns what you are doing in the present deeds,
That all your acts are queens.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Status quo, you know, that is Latin for “the mess we’re in.””
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“For this is what America is all about. It is the uncrossed desert and the unclimbed ridge. It is the star that is not reached and the harvest that is sleeping in the unplowed ground.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
