Nations

A country grows in history not only because of the heroism of its troops on the field of battle, it grows also when it turns to justice and to right for the conservation of its interests.
- Briand, Aristide
Nations Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Nations

1.
This organization is created to prevent you from going to hell. It isn't created to take you to heaven.
Lodge Jr., Henry Cabot

2.
If there be no nobility of descent in a nation, all the more indispensable is it that there should be nobility of ascent -- a character in them that bear rule, so fine and high and pure, that as men come within the circle of its influence, they involuntarily pay homage to that which is the one pre-eminent distinction, the Royalty of Virtue.
Potter, Henry Codman

3.
I showed my appreciation of my native land in the usual Irish way: by getting out of it as soon as I possibly could.
Shaw, George Bernard

4.
The strength of a nation, especially of a republican nation, is in the intelligent and well ordered homes of the people.
Sigourney, Lydia

5.
It is true that men themselves made this world of nations... but this world without doubt has issued from a mind often diverse, at times quite contrary, and always superior to the particular ends that men had proposed to themselves.
Vico, Giambattista

6.
I do not call the sod under my feet my country; but language -- religion -- government -- blood -- identity in these makes men of one country.
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor

7.
The whole basis of the United Nations is the right of all nations--great or small--to have weight, to have a vote, to be attended to, to be a part of the twentieth century.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

8.
The trees in Siberia are miles apart, that is why the dogs are so fast. [About Russia]
Hope, Bob

9.
The soil of their native land is dear to all the hearts of mankind.
Cicero, Marcus T.

10.
Never explain -- your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe you anyway.
Hubbard, Elbert

11.
In the true sense one's native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.
Goldman, Emma

12.
A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.
Carter, Jimmy

13.
The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members.
Truman, Harry S

14.
The only thing chicken about Israel is their soup.
Hope, Bob

15.
The French complain of everything, and always.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

16.
Spain: A whale stranded upon the coast of Europe.
Burke, Edmund

17.
A Country is not a mere territory; the particular territory is only its foundation. The Country is the idea which rises upon that foundation; it is the sentiment of love, the sense of fellowship which binds together all the sons of that territory.
Mazzini, Giuseppe

18.
The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.
Huxley, Aldous

19.
Great countries are those that produce great people.
Disraeli, Benjamin

20.
Nations, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul.
Hugo, Victor

21.
Frenchmen have an unlimited capacity for gallantry and indulge it on every occasion.
Moliere

22.
I like the English. They have the most rigid code of immorality in the world.
Bradbury, Malcolm

23.
Canada has never been a melting pot; more like a tossed salad.
Edinborough, Arnold

24.
Russia has abolished God, but so far God has been tolerant.
Swayze, John

25.
Nations have always good reasons for being what they are, and the best of all is that they cannot be otherwise.
Custine, Marquis De

26.
Never explain yourself. Your friend don't need it and your enemies won't believe it.

27.
National character is only another name for the particular form which the littleness, perversity and baseness of mankind take in every country. Every nation mocks at other nations, and all are right.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

28.
There was never a nation that became great until it came to the knowledge that it had nowhere in the world to go for help.
Warner, Charles Dudley

29.
How can you govern a country with two hundred and forty six varieties of cheese?
Gaulle, Charles De

30.
Without a country, I am not a man.
Al-Sabah, Nawaf Al-Nasir

31.
We prefer world law, in the age of self-determination, to world war in the age of mass extermination.
Kennedy, John F.

32.
I suffer more from the humiliations inflicted by my country than from those inflicted on her.
Weil, Simone

33.
We have actively sought and are actively seeking to make the United Nations an effective instrument of international cooperation.
Acheson, Dean

34.
The more I saw of foreign countries the more I loved my own.
De Delloy

35.
Switzerland is simply a large, lumpy, solid rock with a thin skin of grass stretched over it.
Twain, Mark

36.
The United Nations was not set up to be a reformatory. It was assumed that you would be good before you got in and not that being in would make you good.
Dulles, John Foster

37.
If nations always moved from one set of furnished rooms to another -- and always into a better set -- things might be easier, but the trouble is that there is no one to prepare the new rooms. The future is worse than the ocean -- there is nothing there. It will be what men and circumstances make it.
Herzen, Alexander

38.
England can never be ruined except by a Parliament.
Burleigh, Lord

39.
States are as the men, they grow out of human characters.
Plato

40.
The first forty years of life give us the text; the next thirty supply the commentary on it.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

41.
The United Nations is our one great hope for a peaceful and free world.
Bunche, Ralph

42.
The UN is not just a product of do-gooders. It is harshly real. The day will come when men will see the U.N. and what it means clearly. Everything will be all right -- you know when? When people, just people, stop thinking of the United Nations as a weird Picasso abstraction, and see it as a drawing they made themselves.
Hammarskjold, Dag

43.
Nations, like men, have their infancy.
Bolingbroke, Henry

44.
The best thing I know between France and England is the sea.
Jerrold, Douglas William

45.
France is the country where the money falls apart and you can't tear the toilet paper.
Wilder, Billy

46.
France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country.
Twain, Mark

47.
It is equality of monotony which makes the strength of the British Isles.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

48.
The wealth and prosperity of the country are only the comeliness of the body, the fullness of the flesh and fat; but the spirit is independent of them; it requires only muscle, bone and nerve for the true exercise of its functions. We cannot lose our liberty, because we cannot cease to think.
Davy, Sir Humphrey

49.
The simplest explanation is that it doesn't make sense.
Buechner, Professor William

50.
Nations without a past are contradictions in terms. What makes a nation is the past, what justifies one nation against others is the past, and historians are the people who produce it.
Hobsbawm, E. J.
