Motivational Quotes
Nations
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.
Best Quotes about Nations
A little inaccuracy sometimes saves tons of explanations.
Saki
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
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
There is no waste of time in life like that of making explanations.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Without a country, I am not a man.
Al-Sabah, Nawaf Al-Nasir
The first forty years of life give us the text; the next thirty supply the commentary on it.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
The less you know about a subject, the longer it takes you to explain it.
The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members.
Truman, Harry S
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
This organization is created to prevent you from going to hell. It isn't created to take you to heaven.
Lodge Jr., Henry Cabot
There's always something fishy about the French.
Coward, Noel
If it were not for the government, we should have nothing to laugh at in France.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
France is a place where the money falls apart in your hands but you cannot tear the toilet paper.
Wilder, Billy
Nations! What are nations? Tartars! and Huns! and Chinamen! Like insects they swarm. The historian strives in vain to make them memorable. It is for want of a man that there are so many men. It is individuals that populate the world.
Thoreau, Henry David
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
A people always ends by resembling its shadow.
Kipling, Rudyard
Great countries are those that produce great people.
Disraeli, Benjamin
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
We have actively sought and are actively seeking to make the United Nations an effective instrument of international cooperation.
Acheson, Dean
Never explain yourself. Your friend don't need it and your enemies won't believe it.
Nations, like men, have their infancy.
Bolingbroke, Henry
The strength of a nation, especially of a republican nation, is in the intelligent and well ordered homes of the people.
Sigourney, Lydia
The only thing chicken about Israel is their soup.
Hope, Bob
Canada has never been a melting pot; more like a tossed salad.
Edinborough, Arnold
Do not on any account attempt to write on both sides of the paper at once.
Sellar, W. C.
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
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 suffer more from the humiliations inflicted by my country than from those inflicted on her.
Weil, Simone
A Canadian is someone who knows how to make love in a canoe.
Burton, Pierre
Nationality is the miracle of political independence; race is the principle of physical analogy.
Disraeli, Benjamin
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 don't even know what street Canada is on.
Capone, Al
The more I saw of foreign countries the more I loved my own.
De Delloy
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
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
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
The maxim of the British people is Business as usual.
Churchill, Winston
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
Most nations, as well as people are impossible only in their youth; they become incorrigible as they grow older.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
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
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
Switzerland is simply a large, lumpy, solid rock with a thin skin of grass stretched over it.
Twain, Mark
England can never be ruined except by a Parliament.
Burleigh, Lord
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.
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
I like the English. They have the most rigid code of immorality in the world.
Bradbury, Malcolm
It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales!
Bolt, Robert
The best thing I know between France and England is the sea.
Jerrold, Douglas William
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
