Alexander, his head upon one side Alcidbiades spoke nicely Julius Caesar scratched his head with one finger. Cicero rinsed his nose.

Crusius History 2-3-9 Two Italians, and one of them fine. Two Spaniards, and one of them proud. Two French, and one of them poxy. Two Dutch, and one of them drunk. Two Scots, and one of them a traitor. Two Jews, and one of them lousy. Two Welsh, and one of them a gentleman. Two English, and one of them a thief or a pirate.
The dirty and factious rustic, the deceptive and greedy townsman, the magistrate loves bribes and favoritism, the noble loves luxury and pride, the soldier loves pay and loot. Besides the pomp of the church, ecclesiastics scarcely have any churchly qualities. Bartholomaeus Georgevicz, "On the Customs of the Turks"
The Turk sets aside his vices when at home; the Christian takes his up. In the camps of the Turks there are no delicacies, only arms and basic victuals. In the camps of the Christian there is luxury.
The Hungarian steals, the Spaniard loots, the German drinks, the Bohemian snores, the Pole yawns, the Italian lusts, the Gaul sings, the Englishman devours, the Scot gluts; a soldier who is soldierly in customs you may scarcely encounter.
