Text Quotes
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 (Nations Quotes)
The monuments of the nations are all protests against nothingness after death; so are statues and inscriptions; so is history (Nations Quotes)
The love of domination and an uncontrolled lust of arbitrary power have prevailed among all nations and perhaps in proportion to the degrees of civilization (Nations Quotes)
I have always been vitally interested in physical conditioning. I have long believed that athletic competition among people and nations should replace violence and wars (Nations Quotes)
Many nations are like rebellious teenagers who try to figure out just how many times they can kick us in the teeth while still taking our money (Nations Quotes)
Those nations of artists, finding their own individualism, and kind of standing against the world: to me that’s the ultimate nightmare. I want to get lost and diffused in the world (Nations Quotes)
The test for aid to poor nations is therefore whether it makes them capable of being productive. If it fails to do so, it is likely to make them even poorer in the – not so very – long run (Nations Quotes)
Armed conflict between nations is a nightmare to me, but if I were convinced that any nation had made up its mind to dominate the world by fear of its force I should feel it should be resisted (Nations Quotes)
To strive for the common prosperity and happiness of all nations, as well as the security and wellbeing of our subjects, is the solemn obligation which has been handed down by our imperial ancestors and which lies close to our heart (Nations Quotes)
Only a dead nation remembers its heroes when they die. Real nations respect them when they are alive (Nations Quotes)
The wise men of old have sent most of their morality down the stream of time in the light skiff of apothegm or epigram; and the proverbs of nations, which embody the commonsense of nations, have the brisk concussion of the most sparkling wit (Nations Quotes)
Our country! In her intercourse with foreign nations, may she always be in the right; but our country, right or wrong (Nations Quotes)
False principles, which correspond with the bad as well as with the just aspirations of mankind, are a normal and necessary element in the social life of nations (Nations Quotes)
The true courage of civilized nations is readiness for sacrifice in the service of the state, so that the individual counts as only one amongst many. The important thing here is not personal mettle but aligning oneself with the universal (Nations Quotes)
The true greatness of nations is in those qualities which constitute the greatness of the individual (Nations Quotes)
The most civilized people are as near to barbarism as the most polished steel is to rust. Nations, like metals, have only a superficial brilliancy (Nations Quotes)
I hope I’m remembered as the king of the world, the noble man who united all the nations of the earth. But that probably won’t happen (Nations Quotes)
We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community (Nations Quotes)
I’d say that all nations have contact with the truth, and all religions have admirable people (Nations Quotes)
As the tree is fertilized by its own broken branches and fallen leaves, and grows out of its own decay, so men and nations are bettered and improved by trial, and refined out of broken hopes and blighted expectations (Nations Quotes)
These short stories are vast structures existing mostly in the subconscious of our cultural history. They will live with the reader long after the words have been translated into ideas and dreams. That’s because a good short story crosses the borders of our nations and our prejudices and our beliefs. A good short story asks a question that can’t be answered in simple terms. And even if we come up with some understanding, years later, while glancing out of a window, the story still has the potential to return, to alter right there in our mind and change everything (Nations Quotes)
... there was another, gorier parturition, when two nations incarnated out of one. A foreigner drew a magic line on a map and called it the new border; it became a river of blood upon the earth. And the orchards, fields, factories, businesses, all on the wrong side of that line, vanished with a wave of the pale conjuror’s wand (Nations Quotes)
A people are as healthy and confident as the stories they tell themselves. Sick storytellers can make nations sick. Without stories we would go mad. Life would lose it’s moorings or orientation... Stories can conquer fear, you know. They can make the heart larger (Nations Quotes)
Listen to all the conversations of our world, between nations as well as between individuals. They are, for the most part, dialogues of the deaf (Nations Quotes)
Mannerism is not character, and affectation is the avowed enemy of grace. Every dancer ought to regard his laborious art as a link in the chain of beauty, as a useful ornament for the stage, and this, in turn, as an important element in the spiritual development of nations (Nations Quotes)
Without free speech no search for truth is possible; without free speech progress is checked and the nations no longer march forward toward the nobler life which the future holds for man. Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day, but the denial stays the life of the people, and entombs the hope of the race (Nations Quotes)
The solidarity which binds all men together as members of a common family makes it impossible for wealthy nations to look with indifference upon the hunger, misery and poverty of other nations whose citizens are unable to enjoy even elementary human rights. The nations of the world are becoming more and more dependent on one another and it will not be possible to preserve a lasting peace so long as glaring economic and social imbalances persist (Nations Quotes)
No achievement can be higher than that of working in harmony with other nations so that the lash of war may be lifted from our backs and a peace of lasting friendship descend upon us (Nations Quotes)
The laws expressing the relations between energy and matter are, however, not solely of importance in pure science. They necessarily come first in order... in the whole record of human experience, and they control, in the last resort, the rise or fall of political systems, the freedom or bondage of nations, the movements of commerce and industry, the origin of wealth and poverty, and the general physical welfare of the race (Nations Quotes)
No society of nations, no people within a nation, no family can benefit through mutual aid unless good will exceeds ill will; unless the spirit of cooperation surpasses antagonism; unless we all see and act as though the other man’s welfare determines our own welfare (Nations Quotes)
