Nations Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Nations

1.
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

2.
Nations, like men, have their infancy.
Bolingbroke, Henry

3.
I don't even know what street Canada is on.
Capone, Al

4.
This organization is created to prevent you from going to hell. It isn't created to take you to heaven.
Lodge Jr., Henry Cabot

5.
Never explain yourself. Your friend don't need it and your enemies won't believe it.

6.
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

7.
The simplest explanation is that it doesn't make sense.
Buechner, Professor William

8.
France is the country where the money falls apart and you can't tear the toilet paper.
Wilder, Billy

9.
Frenchmen have an unlimited capacity for gallantry and indulge it on every occasion.
Moliere

10.
A people always ends by resembling its shadow.
Kipling, Rudyard

11.
Men may be linked in friendship. Nations are linked only by interests.
Hochhuth, Rolf

12.
Spain: A whale stranded upon the coast of Europe.
Burke, Edmund

13.
Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. [About Russia]
Churchill, Winston

14.
I suffer more from the humiliations inflicted by my country than from those inflicted on her.
Weil, Simone

15.
A nation is not conquered which is perpetually to be conquered.
Burke, Edmund

16.
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.

17.
The only thing chicken about Israel is their soup.
Hope, Bob

18.
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

19.
France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country.
Twain, Mark

20.
The strength and power of a country depends absolutely on the quantity of good men and women in it.
Ruskin, John

21.
It is equality of monotony which makes the strength of the British Isles.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

22.
Do not on any account attempt to write on both sides of the paper at once.
Sellar, W. C.

23.
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

24.
Nationality is the miracle of political independence; race is the principle of physical analogy.
Disraeli, Benjamin

25.
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

26.
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

27.
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

28.
The United Nations is our one great hope for a peaceful and free world.
Bunche, Ralph

29.
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

30.
The less you know about a subject, the longer it takes you to explain it.

31.
Most nations, as well as people are impossible only in their youth; they become incorrigible as they grow older.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

32.
The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members.
Truman, Harry S

33.
A Canadian is someone who knows how to make love in a canoe.
Burton, Pierre

34.
It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales!
Bolt, Robert

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

36.
The soil of their native land is dear to all the hearts of mankind.
Cicero, Marcus T.

37.
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

38.
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

39.
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

40.
The more I saw of foreign countries the more I loved my own.
De Delloy

41.
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

42.
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

43.
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.

44.
Without a country, I am not a man.
Al-Sabah, Nawaf Al-Nasir

45.
The greatest nations have all acted like gangsters and the smallest like prostitutes.
Kubrick, Stanley

46.
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

47.
China has no income tax, no unemployment and not a single soldier outside its borders.
Chou En Lai

48.
We have actively sought and are actively seeking to make the United Nations an effective instrument of international cooperation.
Acheson, Dean

49.
The strength of a nation, especially of a republican nation, is in the intelligent and well ordered homes of the people.
Sigourney, Lydia

50.
We prefer world law, in the age of self-determination, to world war in the age of mass extermination.
Kennedy, John F.
