Nations Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Nations

1.
How can you govern a country with two hundred and forty six varieties of cheese?
Gaulle, Charles De

2.
The first forty years of life give us the text; the next thirty supply the commentary on it.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

3.
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

4.
The more I saw of foreign countries the more I loved my own.
De Delloy

5.
A people always ends by resembling its shadow.
Kipling, Rudyard

6.
France is a place where the money falls apart in your hands but you cannot tear the toilet paper.
Wilder, Billy

7.
The French complain of everything, and always.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

8.
Great countries are those that produce great people.
Disraeli, Benjamin

9.
France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country.
Twain, Mark

10.
Do not on any account attempt to write on both sides of the paper at once.
Sellar, W. C.

11.
The less you know about a subject, the longer it takes you to explain it.

12.
Nations, like men, have their infancy.
Bolingbroke, Henry

13.
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

14.
England can never be ruined except by a Parliament.
Burleigh, Lord

15.
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

16.
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.

17.
Nations have always good reasons for being what they are, and the best of all is that they cannot be otherwise.
Custine, Marquis De

18.
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

19.
The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members.
Truman, Harry S

20.
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

21.
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

22.
The strength of a nation, especially of a republican nation, is in the intelligent and well ordered homes of the people.
Sigourney, Lydia

23.
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

24.
The strength and power of a country depends absolutely on the quantity of good men and women in it.
Ruskin, John

25.
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

26.
The soil of their native land is dear to all the hearts of mankind.
Cicero, Marcus T.

27.
The United Nations is our one great hope for a peaceful and free world.
Bunche, Ralph

28.
It is equality of monotony which makes the strength of the British Isles.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

29.
The simplest explanation is that it doesn't make sense.
Buechner, Professor William

30.
I like the English. They have the most rigid code of immorality in the world.
Bradbury, Malcolm

31.
Russia has abolished God, but so far God has been tolerant.
Swayze, John

32.
Nationality is the miracle of political independence; race is the principle of physical analogy.
Disraeli, Benjamin

33.
Men may be linked in friendship. Nations are linked only by interests.
Hochhuth, Rolf

34.
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

35.
States are as the men, they grow out of human characters.
Plato

36.
I don't even know what street Canada is on.
Capone, Al

37.
China has no income tax, no unemployment and not a single soldier outside its borders.
Chou En Lai

38.
There's always something fishy about the French.
Coward, Noel

39.
The United Nations cannot do anything, and never could; it is not an animate entity or agent. It is a place, a stage, a forum and a shrine... a place to which powerful people can repair when they are fearful about the course on which their own rhetoric seems to be propelling them.
O'Brien, Conor Cruise

40.
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.

41.
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

42.
There is no waste of time in life like that of making explanations.
Disraeli, Benjamin

43.
Spain: A whale stranded upon the coast of Europe.
Burke, Edmund

44.
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

45.
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

46.
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

47.
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.

48.
States that rise quickly, just as all the other things of nature that are born and grow rapidly, cannot have roots and ramifications; the first bad weather kills them.
Machiavelli, Niccolo

49.
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

50.
Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. [About Russia]
Churchill, Winston
