Country Quotes

I was a tried seaman when, for the first time, I set foot upon the soil of my country, and took up my residence where my people had lived for over two hundred years Picture Quote #1

The only important thing I have to say is that my father never fought against his country Picture Quote #1

A protected bicycle lane in the city in a developing country is a powerful symbol, showing that a citizen on the $30 bicycle is as important as one in a $30,000 car Picture Quote #1

I’ve enjoyed every minute of travelling and playing for my country. What an honour that is Picture Quote #1

If people are given the chance to experience life in more than one country, they will hate a little less. It’s not a miracle potion, but little by little you can solve problems in the basement of a country, not on the surface Picture Quote #1

I believe in pulling together to make the country better right rather than pulling, tearing it apart for partisan reasons. I think the country comes first Picture Quote #1

Society had grown cruel. People who felt they were unwanted or unwelcome in their own country, reacted with aggression. There was no such thing as meaningless violence. Every violent act had a meaning for the person who committed it. Only when you dared accept this truth could you hope to turn society in another direction Picture Quote #1

Films today show only a dream world and have lost touch with the way people really are... In this country, people die at 21. They die emotionally at 21, maybe younger... My responsibility as an artist is to help people get past 21... The films are a roadmap through emotional and intellectual terrain that provides a solution on how to save pain Picture Quote #1

Birthdays could be such a bummer when you were older than the country you lived in Picture Quote #1

I wonder what it felt to move to a country where you didn’t grow up. I had thought about that often since my sister got married. Do you become a character in a story native to that land, or do you, somewhere in your heart, want to return to your homeland Picture Quote #1

The meaning of life has not much to do with good and evil, right and wrong, duty, honor, country, or any of that. It has to do with cutting the right deal Picture Quote #1

If only the right person would have to leave, everyone else would be able to stay in the country Picture Quote #1

I will stand off the forces of the entire country here... and die a resplendent death Picture Quote #1

The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders... tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger Picture Quote #1

Behind all these men you have to do with, behind officers, and government, and people even, there is the country herself, your country, and... you belong to her as you belong to your own mother. Stand by her, boy, as you would stand by your mother Picture Quote #1

The historian should be fearless and incorruptible; a man of independence, loving frankness and truth; one who, as the poets says, calls a fig a fig and a spade a spade. He should yield to neither hatred nor affection, not should be unsparing and unpitying. He should be neither shy nor deprecating, but an impartial judge, giving each side all it deserves but no more. He should know in his writing no country and no city; he should bow to no authority and acknowledge no king. He should never consider what this or that man will think, but should state the facts as they really occurred Picture Quote #1

Money is the great power today. Men sell their souls for it. Women sell their bodies for it. Others worship it. The money power has grown so great that the issue of all issues is whether the corporation shall rule this country or the country shall again rule the corporations Picture Quote #1

I’m proud to represent those hands that labor in this country. I’ve given every maid I’ve ever portrayed soul and heart Picture Quote #1

God has chosen this time and this place so we can save our country and save our courts for our children Picture Quote #1

When at last I took the time to look into the heart of a flower, it opened up a whole new world; a world where every country walk would be an adventure, where every garden would become an enchanted one Picture Quote #1

The people of this country desperately need to engage in an open and honest debate about mental health Picture Quote #1

The corporations that profit from permanent war need us to be afraid. Fear stops us from objecting to government spending on a bloated military. Fear means we will not ask unpleasant questions of those in power. Fear permits the government to operate in secret. Fear means we are willing to give up our rights and liberties for promises of security. The imposition of fear ensures that the corporations that wrecked the country cannot be challenged. Fear keeps us penned in like livestock Picture Quote #1

For if every true love affair can feel like a journey to a foreign country, where you can’t quite speak the language, and you don’t know where you’re going, and you’re pulled ever deeper into the inviting darkness, every trip to a foreign country can be a love affair, where you’re left puzzling over who you are and whom you’ve fallen in love with Picture Quote #1

The clouds of terror and dictatorship are gathering over the whole country. They must not be allowed to bring eternal night Picture Quote #1

Dictatorships usually exist primarily because of the internal power distribution in the home country. The population and society are too weak to cause the dictatorship serious problems, wealth and power are concentrated in too few hands. Although dictatorships may benefit from or be somewhat weakened by international actions, their continuation is dependent primarily on internal factors Picture Quote #1

I have always thought that if the city cannot come to the country, than the country must come to the city Picture Quote #1

He was feeling totally lost, leaving his family and country for a place where he knew nobody and didn’t even speak the language Picture Quote #1

Any woman who does not thoroughly enjoy tramping across the country on a clear frosty morning with a good gun and a pair of dogs does not know how to enjoy life Picture Quote #1

We’re all doing time. As soon as we get born, we find ourselves assigned to one little body, one set of desires and fears, one family, city, state, country, and planet. Who can ever understand exactly why or how it comes down as it does? The bottom line is, here we are. Whatever, wherever we are, this is what we’ve got. It’s up to us whether we do it as easy time or hard time Picture Quote #1

Sometimes all you need is to climb a simple hill, to spend time staring at an empty horizon, to jump into a cold river or sleep under the stars, or perhaps share a whisky at a small country inn in order to remind yourself what matters most to you in life Picture Quote #1
