Nations Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Nations

1.
Nations have always good reasons for being what they are, and the best of all is that they cannot be otherwise.
Custine, Marquis De

2.
A nation is not conquered which is perpetually to be conquered.
Burke, Edmund

3.
Do not on any account attempt to write on both sides of the paper at once.
Sellar, W. C.

4.
Nations do not think, they only feel. They get their feelings at second hand through their temperaments, not their brains. A nation can be brought -- by force of circumstances, not argument -- to reconcile itself to any kind of government or religion that can be devised; in time it will fit itself to the required conditions; later it will prefer them and will fiercely fight for them.
Twain, Mark

5.
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

6.
The first forty years of life give us the text; the next thirty supply the commentary on it.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

7.
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

8.
Never explain -- your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe you anyway.
Hubbard, Elbert

9.
The heroes of the world community are not those who withdraw when difficulties ensue, not those who can envision neither the prospect of success nor the consequence of failure -- but those who stand the heat of battle, the fight for world peace through the United Nations.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

10.
The soil of their native land is dear to all the hearts of mankind.
Cicero, Marcus T.

11.
The trees in Siberia are miles apart, that is why the dogs are so fast. [About Russia]
Hope, Bob

12.
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

13.
We prefer world law, in the age of self-determination, to world war in the age of mass extermination.
Kennedy, John F.

14.
Nations, like men, have their infancy.
Bolingbroke, Henry

15.
Frenchmen have an unlimited capacity for gallantry and indulge it on every occasion.
Moliere

16.
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

17.
A little inaccuracy sometimes saves tons of explanations.
Saki

18.
Most nations, as well as people are impossible only in their youth; they become incorrigible as they grow older.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

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

20.
It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales!
Bolt, Robert

21.
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

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.
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

24.
The maxim of the British people is Business as usual.
Churchill, Winston

25.
A Canadian is someone who knows how to make love in a canoe.
Burton, Pierre

26.
The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members.
Truman, Harry S

27.
The greatest nations have all acted like gangsters and the smallest like prostitutes.
Kubrick, Stanley

28.
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.

29.
Spain: A whale stranded upon the coast of Europe.
Burke, Edmund

30.
The more I saw of foreign countries the more I loved my own.
De Delloy

31.
How can you govern a country with two hundred and forty six varieties of cheese?
Gaulle, Charles De

32.
Men may be linked in friendship. Nations are linked only by interests.
Hochhuth, Rolf

33.
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

34.
We have actively sought and are actively seeking to make the United Nations an effective instrument of international cooperation.
Acheson, Dean

35.
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.

36.
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

37.
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

38.
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

39.
Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. [About Russia]
Churchill, Winston

40.
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

41.
It is equality of monotony which makes the strength of the British Isles.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

42.
Canada has never been a melting pot; more like a tossed salad.
Edinborough, Arnold

43.
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

44.
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

45.
Never explain yourself. Your friend don't need it and your enemies won't believe it.

46.
States are as the men, they grow out of human characters.
Plato

47.
I don't even know what street Canada is on.
Capone, Al

48.
The United Nations is our one great hope for a peaceful and free world.
Bunche, Ralph

49.
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

50.
There's always something fishy about the French.
Coward, Noel
