“The Arabs never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.”
As quoted in The Jerusalem Post (18 November 2002) http://www.factsofisrael.com/blog/archives/000491.html; often misquoted as "Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity." The quote is attributed to Abba Eban after the Geneva Peace Conference http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Peace/geneva.html with Arab countries (21 December 1973).
“Nothing is so often and so irrevocably missed as the opportunity which crops up daily.”
Nichts wird so oft unwiederbringlich versäumt wie eine Gelegenheit, die sich täglich bietet.
