Nations

A nation is not conquered which is perpetually to be conquered.
- Burke, Edmund
Nations Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Nations

1.
Spain: A whale stranded upon the coast of Europe.
Burke, Edmund

2.
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

3.
The best thing I know between France and England is the sea.
Jerrold, Douglas William

4.
The maxim of the British people is Business as usual.
Churchill, Winston

5.
Without a country, I am not a man.
Al-Sabah, Nawaf Al-Nasir

6.
Men may be linked in friendship. Nations are linked only by interests.
Hochhuth, Rolf

7.
France is the country where the money falls apart and you can't tear the toilet paper.
Wilder, Billy

8.
Never explain yourself. Your friend don't need it and your enemies won't believe it.

9.
Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. [About Russia]
Churchill, Winston

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

11.
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

12.
The first forty years of life give us the text; the next thirty supply the commentary on it.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

13.
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

14.
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

15.
The United Nations is our one great hope for a peaceful and free world.
Bunche, Ralph

16.
France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country.
Twain, Mark

17.
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

18.
I don't even know what street Canada is on.
Capone, Al

19.
I like the English. They have the most rigid code of immorality in the world.
Bradbury, Malcolm

20.
Most nations, as well as people are impossible only in their youth; they become incorrigible as they grow older.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

21.
Great countries are those that produce great people.
Disraeli, Benjamin

22.
It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales!
Bolt, Robert

23.
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

24.
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

25.
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.

26.
The less you know about a subject, the longer it takes you to explain it.

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

29.
Canada has never been a melting pot; more like a tossed salad.
Edinborough, Arnold

30.
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

31.
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

32.
How can you govern a country with two hundred and forty six varieties of cheese?
Gaulle, Charles De

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

35.
Nationality is the miracle of political independence; race is the principle of physical analogy.
Disraeli, Benjamin

36.
Nations, like men, have their infancy.
Bolingbroke, Henry

37.
Frenchmen have an unlimited capacity for gallantry and indulge it on every occasion.
Moliere

38.
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.

39.
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

40.
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

41.
Never explain -- your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe you anyway.
Hubbard, Elbert

42.
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

43.
England can never be ruined except by a Parliament.
Burleigh, Lord

44.
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

45.
We prefer world law, in the age of self-determination, to world war in the age of mass extermination.
Kennedy, John F.

46.
The only thing chicken about Israel is their soup.
Hope, Bob

47.
We have actively sought and are actively seeking to make the United Nations an effective instrument of international cooperation.
Acheson, Dean

48.
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.

49.
A little inaccuracy sometimes saves tons of explanations.
Saki

50.
If it were not for the government, we should have nothing to laugh at in France.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
