In my opinion it is only by action that they can now atone for their faults of lack of character and discipline  (Nations In General Quotes) Out of war nations acquire additional territory, if they are victorious. They just take it. This newly acquired territory promptly is exploited by the few - the selfsame few who wrung dollars out of blood in the war. The general public shoulders the bill  (Nations In General Quotes) President Bush gave a rousing speech to the United Nations General Assembly. Afterward, in a touching show of support, every foreign dignitary shook hands with the president and smiled warmly as he mispronounced their names  (Nations In General Quotes) I imagine an America that can actually change.

That experience was a big part of what led me to pursue a career in public service. As Secretary-General, I am determined to see this organization deliver tangible, meaningful results that advance peace, development and human rights.  (Nations In General Quotes) Law in general is human reason, inasmuch as it governs all the inhabitants of the earth: the political and civil laws of each nation ought to be only the particular cases in which human reason is applied  (Nations In General Quotes) An individual, in promoting his own interest, may injure the public interest; a nation, in promoting the general welfare, may check the interest of a part of its members  (Nations In General Quotes) It is almost a general rule that nations do not decline gradually. Instead they fall abruptly from their greatest heights  (Nations In General Quotes)
