Motivational Quotes
Nations
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.
Best Quotes about Nations
Nationality is the miracle of political independence; race is the principle of physical analogy.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Frenchmen have an unlimited capacity for gallantry and indulge it on every occasion.
Moliere
A Canadian is someone who knows how to make love in a canoe.
Burton, Pierre
As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.
Forster, Edward M.
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
The more I saw of foreign countries the more I loved my own.
De Delloy
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.
China has no income tax, no unemployment and not a single soldier outside its borders.
Chou En Lai
I suffer more from the humiliations inflicted by my country than from those inflicted on her.
Weil, Simone
The simplest explanation is that it doesn't make sense.
Buechner, Professor William
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
I am like a doctor. I have written a prescription to help the patient. If the patient doesn't want all the pills I've recommended, that's up to him. But I must warn that next time I will have to come as a surgeon with a knife.
Cuellar, Javier Perez De
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
God how I hate new countries: They are older than the old, more sophisticated, much more conceited, only young in a certain puerile vanity more like senility than anything.
Lawrence, D. H.
Canada has never been a melting pot; more like a tossed salad.
Edinborough, Arnold
Nations have always good reasons for being what they are, and the best of all is that they cannot be otherwise.
Custine, Marquis De
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
I like the English. They have the most rigid code of immorality in the world.
Bradbury, Malcolm
The first forty years of life give us the text; the next thirty supply the commentary on it.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
A people always ends by resembling its shadow.
Kipling, Rudyard
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
The French complain of everything, and always.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
England can never be ruined except by a Parliament.
Burleigh, Lord
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.
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
The strength of a nation, especially of a republican nation, is in the intelligent and well ordered homes of the people.
Sigourney, Lydia
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
France is a place where the money falls apart in your hands but you cannot tear the toilet paper.
Wilder, Billy
It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales!
Bolt, Robert
Never explain yourself. Your friend don't need it and your enemies won't believe it.
The policy of Russia is changeless. Its methods, its tactics, its maneuvers may change, but the polar star of its policy, world domination, is a fixed star. [About Russia]
Marx, Karl
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
The only thing chicken about Israel is their soup.
Hope, Bob
Spain: A whale stranded upon the coast of Europe.
Burke, Edmund
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
There is no waste of time in life like that of making explanations.
Disraeli, Benjamin
The strength and power of a country depends absolutely on the quantity of good men and women in it.
Ruskin, John
It is equality of monotony which makes the strength of the British Isles.
Roosevelt, Eleanor
Great nations write their autobiographies in three manuscripts -- the book of their deeds, the book of their words and the book of their art.
Ruskin, John
We have actively sought and are actively seeking to make the United Nations an effective instrument of international cooperation.
Acheson, Dean
We prefer world law, in the age of self-determination, to world war in the age of mass extermination.
Kennedy, John F.
Methinks I see in my mind a noble and puissant nation rousing herself like a strong man after sleep, and shaking her invincible locks. Methinks I see her as an eagle mewing her mighty youth, and kindling her undazzled eyes at the full midday beam.
Milton, John
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
France is the country where the money falls apart and you can't tear the toilet paper.
Wilder, Billy
The soil of their native land is dear to all the hearts of mankind.
Cicero, Marcus T.
I don't even know what street Canada is on.
Capone, Al
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
Russia has abolished God, but so far God has been tolerant.
Swayze, John
Never explain -- your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe you anyway.
Hubbard, Elbert
Nations, like men, have their infancy.
Bolingbroke, Henry
