While I struggled explaining the difference between Konjunktiv I and II during my last live lesson I stumbled across this quote:
“Wir Deutschen haben die Welt beherrscht,
fremde Völker, die Nordsee und die Natur - den Konjunktiv nie.”
“We Germans have dominated the world, foreign peoples, the North Sea and Nature but never the subjunctive”
Quote from the cabaret artist and German writer Dieter Hildebrandt (1927-2013)

Do you know any other funny quotes by Germans?
