Text Quotes
Even in non-democratic countries, people have a legitimate interest in knowing about actions taken by the government.  (Countries Quotes) Paradoxically, resource-rich developing countries are often worse off than comparable countries that lack those resources. One reason for this is that large resource endowments provide a huge financial incentive for attempts to overthrow the government and seize power.  (Countries Quotes) Every country should have a strong literary tradition of its own at the center, but it should also have an interest in other countries.  (Countries Quotes) My mom set up relief programs in third world countries. We would do things like go to Bogota with her instead of summer camp.  (Countries Quotes) Turkey and Brazil, though half a world apart geographically, have much in common. Both are large countries that spent long years under military dominance, but have broken with that history and made decisive steps towards full democracy.  (Countries Quotes) Very few people are fortunate enough to walk through countries like Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, and I had seen them all. I had spoken to many on the street.  (Countries Quotes) Reading develops cognitive skills. It trains our minds to think critically and to question what you are told. This is why dictators censor or ban books. It’s why it was illegal to teach slaves to read. It’s why girls in developing countries have acid thrown in their faces when they walk to school.  (Countries Quotes) I started digging and found that Israel signed a peace treaty with the United Arab Emirates after the country had diversified their economy, instead of being solely oil-based. This diversification had brought about modernization. I realized that if you land the price of oil, countries will diversify their economies and as a result, modernize.  (Countries Quotes) The history of Germany is not the history of a nation, but of a race. It has little unity, therefore; it is complicated, broken, and attached on all sides to the histories of other countries.  (Countries Quotes) Corruption is not a problem just for some countries; this is a global issue  (Countries Quotes) Corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion are global problems, not just challenges for developing countries.  (Countries Quotes) Most problems in poor countries are locally generated even though international factors do play a role.  (Countries Quotes) My liking for Scandinavian crime fiction led me into exploring literary writers from the same countries.  (Countries Quotes) Some of the best work that’s happening right now is from architects who have remained in their home countries and who have focused on a local or national identity and the idea of critical regionalism.  (Countries Quotes) Energy companies, such as Chevron and Shell, and oil producing countries, such as Kuwait and Venezuela, pump crude oil from their vast land holdings and sell it on the world market.  (Countries Quotes) If our countries had war the one with the other, that was no cause that he should put us to death; with which they were out of heart that their cruel pretense failed them. For which God be forever-more praised.  (Countries Quotes) During the Cuban Missile Crisis, decisions made by President John F. Kennedy and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev could have plunged both countries into thermonuclear war.  (Countries Quotes) There are highly innovative companies in the U.S., Germany, and India. And there are many stories of companies that failed to innovate in all those countries. This is good news because it means, regardless of your cultural background or where your company is based, it can become innovative.  (Countries Quotes) Most countries want to bring their people together and tear down physical, commercial and cultural barriers. Anyone who proposes separating them is out of line.  (Countries Quotes) The difficulty that negotiators have is often based on the cultural difference that various countries have.  (Countries Quotes) I was sure we would never see the adoption of the Euro. Countries giving up their currencies for a common tender was, it seemed to me, completely out of tune with currency being a carrier of people’s cultural identity, celebrating national heroes and events, as it had been for hundreds of years.  (Countries Quotes) I think globalization actually maintains and fosters various elements of national and cultural identities. I don’t think everything is being homogenized. If anything, your food, your culture, and your ethnicity might become part of the globalized world, and thus absorbed by other countries.  (Countries Quotes) The imbalance between developed and underdeveloped countries - caused by the relationships of dependence - becomes more acute if the cultural point of view is taken into consideration.  (Countries Quotes) The dogma of cultural relativism is challenged by the very people for whose moral benefit the anthropologists established it in the first place. The complaint the underdeveloped countries advance is not that they are being westernized, but that the westernization is proceeding too slowly.  (Countries Quotes) I’ve always been a keen cyclist, I’m very close to the world of cycling. Not just cycling really - also walking, adventures, being a curious person, traveling to new countries.  (Countries Quotes) I believe that with the help of foreign countries - and under that condition only, because they have no other source of financing - the new government may temporarily extricate Georgia from the current situation.  (Countries Quotes) I’ve put pencil to paper and I’ve said I would cut spending, and I’ve said exactly where. Each one of my budgets has taken a meat axe to foreign aid, because I think we ought to quit sending it to countries that hate us.  (Countries Quotes) Today, [cyber security] is totally questioned. People don’t even know if we have the capability that we’re supposed to have when you look at what’s going on with other countries.  (Countries Quotes) The Czech Republic is a dynamic United Nations Member State, active on the Human Rights Council, contributing to the peaceful settlement of disputes, and helping other countries to achieve a democratic transition.  (Countries Quotes) Saudi Arabia was, until just a few years ago, probably one of the most safe countries on earth. And now the paper is daily full of activities and shootouts between Islamists who supported Osama bin Laden and the government there.  (Countries Quotes)
