A people always ends by resembling its shadow.
- Kipling, Rudyard
Nations Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Nations

1.
I like the English. They have the most rigid code of immorality in the world.
Bradbury, Malcolm

2.
Great countries are those that produce great people.
Disraeli, Benjamin

3.
Canada has never been a melting pot; more like a tossed salad.
Edinborough, Arnold

4.
I don't even know what street Canada is on.
Capone, Al

5.
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.

6.
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.

7.
I suffer more from the humiliations inflicted by my country than from those inflicted on her.
Weil, Simone

8.
Switzerland is simply a large, lumpy, solid rock with a thin skin of grass stretched over it.
Twain, Mark

9.
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

10.
There's always something fishy about the French.
Coward, Noel

11.
We prefer world law, in the age of self-determination, to world war in the age of mass extermination.
Kennedy, John F.

12.
A people always ends by resembling its shadow.
Kipling, Rudyard

13.
It is equality of monotony which makes the strength of the British Isles.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

14.
States are as the men, they grow out of human characters.
Plato

15.
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.

16.
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

17.
The less you know about a subject, the longer it takes you to explain it.

18.
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

19.
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

20.
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

21.
How can you govern a country with two hundred and forty six varieties of cheese?
Gaulle, Charles De

22.
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.

23.
The simplest explanation is that it doesn't make sense.
Buechner, Professor William

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

25.
France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country.
Twain, Mark

26.
Spain: A whale stranded upon the coast of Europe.
Burke, Edmund

27.
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

28.
The greatest nations have all acted like gangsters and the smallest like prostitutes.
Kubrick, Stanley

29.
Nations, like men, have their infancy.
Bolingbroke, Henry

30.
The first forty years of life give us the text; the next thirty supply the commentary on it.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

31.
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.

32.
Russia has abolished God, but so far God has been tolerant.
Swayze, John

33.
France is a place where the money falls apart in your hands but you cannot tear the toilet paper.
Wilder, Billy

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

36.
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

37.
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

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

40.
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

41.
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

42.
The best thing I know between France and England is the sea.
Jerrold, Douglas William

43.
Never explain yourself. Your friend don't need it and your enemies won't believe it.

44.
We have actively sought and are actively seeking to make the United Nations an effective instrument of international cooperation.
Acheson, Dean

45.
France is the country where the money falls apart and you can't tear the toilet paper.
Wilder, Billy

46.
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

47.
The French complain of everything, and always.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

48.
Without a country, I am not a man.
Al-Sabah, Nawaf Al-Nasir

49.
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

50.
A nation is not conquered which is perpetually to be conquered.
Burke, Edmund
