Faust I 2270-2273
Foreigners have their uses, I suppose; Home’s best, but some good things just can’t be had. A Frenchman stinks in every decent German’s nose— But when one’s drinking, well, their wine’s not bad.

Man kann nicht stets das Fremde meiden Das Gute liegt uns oft so fern. Ein echter deutscher Mann mag keinen Franzen leiden, Doch ihre Weine trinkt er gern.
