Fortune favors the bold.
In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

Nope, the Dutch are way more direct IMO.
As for Afrikaners, they are definitely not as direct as the Dutch - we often get startled when having a conversation with them. Perhaps it's all those centuries of British cultural investment.
And no, the English are actually the opposite. You can never trust their word, until you've known them for quite some time. They'd tell you nice things to make you feel comfortable ... but be always armed with a good dose of skepticism in your dealings with them

Directness is a good thing. Some may interpret it as rude, but I myself (although not Dutch) am very direct

I personally haven't noticed that in Dutch,but in Germans yes.

I have seen this in Germans, especially. I like it, it's true in Italians and Spaniard too. That's why we are rude or considered rude by other Europeans, I suppose.
