Prince Harry

Virginia Foxx
There are seasons in every country when noise and impudence pass current for worth; and in popular commotions especially, the clamors of interested and factious men are often mistaken for patriotism.
Alexander Hamilton
America is a country founded on guns. It’s in our DNA. It’s very strange but I feel better having a gun. I really do. I don’t feel safe, I don’t feel the house is completely safe, if I don’t have one hidden somewhere. That’s my thinking, right or wrong.

Peter Drucker
If any country was a mine-shaft canary for the reintroduction of cholera, it was Haiti – and we knew it.

Mark Twain
I don’t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.
Henry Kissinger
Born and educated in this country, I glory in the name of Briton.
George III of the United Kingdom

Margaret Thatcher
I’d always somehow felt slightly as if I’d been born in the wrong country.

Jacinda Ardern
A lot of country music is sad. I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times. It applies to music. Three chords and the truth – that’s what a country song is. There is a lot of heartache in the world.

Marquis de Sade
If anyone can say ‘go back,’ it’s Native Americans. My Pueblo ancestors, despite being targeted at every juncture – despite facing famine and drought – still inhabit this country today. But indigenous people aren’t asking anyone to go back to where they came from.

We are all in this together. We will all make it or none of us will make it. If everyone cleans up their act except one big ole country, it isn’t going to work.
Ted Danson
We need to understand that we are not each others’ enemies in this country. And it is only the political class that derives its power by creating friction. It is only the media that derives its importance by creating friction… that uses every little thing to create this chasm between people. This is not who we are.
Ben Carson
To one who loves his country in all its parts, it is natural to rejoice in whatever contributes to the prosperity and honor and marks the stability and progress of any portion of its people.

The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrongdoer.
Theodore Roosevelt
My countrymen, I have given proofs that I am one most anxious for liberties for our country, and I am still desirous of them.

Maya Angelou
If the rabble were lopped off at one end and the aristocrats at the other, all would be well with the country.

Winston Churchill
People don’t realize what’s really going on in this country. There are a lot things that are going on that are unjust. People aren’t being held accountable for. And that’s something that needs to change. That’s something that this country stands for: freedom, liberty and justice for all.
Colin Kaepernick

And by the way, a piece of news, Israel is the one country in which everyone is pro-American, opposition and coalition alike. And I represent the entire people of Israel who say, ‘Thank you, America.’ And we’re friends of America, and we’re the only reliable allies of America in the Middle East.
Benjamin Netanyahu
How horrible, fantastic, incredible, it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a faraway country between people of whom we know nothing.

J. M. G. Le Clezio
There used to be a cruel joke that said Brazil is the country of the future, and always will be; Obama is the Brazil of today’s politicians. He has obviously achieved nothing.

The safety of the republic being the supreme law, and Texas having offered us the key to the safety of our country from all foreign intrigues and diplomacy, I say accept the key… and bolt the door at once.
Andrew Jackson
My country is the world, and my religion is to do good.
Thomas Paine
I did not vote for Donald Trump and I do not support him but I believe that Trump is the best thing to happen to this country in a long time. He’s bringing out the country’s ugliness. There’s no turning a blind eye anymore.
Daryl Davis
The Spaniard is gallant and patriotic, and sacrifices everything, in favorable moments, for his country’s good. He has the intrepidity of his bull.

Erin Brockovich
If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen.
Ronald Reagan
Imagine a country that flies into space, launches Sputniks, creates such a defense system, and it can’t resolve the problem of women’s pantyhose. There’s no toothpaste, no soap powder, not the basic necessities of life. It was incredible and humiliating to work in such a government.
Mikhail Gorbachev
If the Almighty were to rebuild the world and asked me for advice, I would have English Channels round every country. And the atmosphere would be such that anything which attempted to fly would be set on fire.
Winston Churchill
Well, in the first place, military service, they don’t call it service for nothing. You are actually serving your country. And it is a worthy and valid vocation.
Rick Warren
I’ve heard that the true love of country music is alive and well. That gives me so much hope and so much happiness.
Ashley McBryde
We have no right to poison, to eat up, to chew, to pollute this wonderful country of ours. We are required to save it and purify it and protect it.
Walter F. Mondale
Every two years the American politics industry fills the airwaves with the most virulent, scurrilous, wall-to-wall character assassination of nearly every political practitioner in the country – and then declares itself puzzled that America has lost trust in its politicians.
Charles Krauthammer
We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. It is time now to write the next chapter – and to write it in the books of law.

Iranian people are very hospitable, very family-oriented and besides that they have a very beautiful country.

John F. Kennedy
Madam, I have come from a country where people are hanged if they talk.

There may be some people in the country who forget to perform their duty. You should set an example by doing your job with honesty and faithfulness.
Bhumibol Adulyadej
I was one of those children forced into fighting at the age of 13, in my country Sierra Leone, a war that claimed the lives of my mother, father and two brothers. I know too well the emotional, psychological and physical burden that comes with being exposed to violence as a child or at any age for that matter.
Ishmael Beah
We can have no ’50-50′ allegiance in this country. Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all.
Theodore Roosevelt
Brazil does not want to become an exporter of crude oil. No. We want to be a country that exports oil byproducts – more gasoline, high-quality oil – and to strengthen the petrochemical industry.
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva
Only in America can someone start with nothing and achieve the American Dream. That’s the greatness of this country.
Rafael Cruz
There are millions of Americans outside Washington who are tired of stale political arguments and are moving this country forward. They believe, and I believe, that here in America, our success should depend not on accident of birth, but the strength of our work ethic and the scope of our dreams.
Barack Obama
All over the land are vast and handsome pastures, with good grass for cattle, and it strikes me the soil would be very fertile were the country inhabited and improved by reasonable people.

Anybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there.
Oscar Wilde
That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings.
John Ruskin
My grades put me in about 5,000th place in all of South Korea. If I kept going down that path, I would’ve become a successful man with a regular job. However, I was positive I’d be number one in the country as a rapper. So I asked my mother whether she wanted to have a son who was a first-place rapper, or a 5,000th-place student.
RM
The country needs leadership driven by the dictates of national security, not the ebb and flow of political fortunes.
Dominic Grieve
While we are guarding the country, we must accept being the guardian of the finest ethics. The country needs it and we must do it.
Creighton Abrams
I am convinced that Nigeria would have been a more highly developed country without the oil. I wished we’d never smelled the fumes of petroleum.
Wole Soyinka
I’m a registered, vetted gun owner, but that’s because I live way out in the country, like way out in the middle of nowhere.
Naomi Judd
I think big business is a terrible thing for the spirit of the country, as our spirit is the best thing about us.
Kurt Vonnegut
They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.
Ernest Hemingway
For a country to have a great writer is like having a second government. That is why no regime has ever loved great writers, only minor ones.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The spirit of this country is totally adverse to a large military force.
Thomas Jefferson
We are all different. Yet we are all God’s children. We are all united behind this country and the common cause of freedom, justice, fairness, and equality. That is what unites us.
Barbara Boxer
It’s the first war we’ve ever fought on the television screen and the first war that our country ever fought where the media had full reign.
William Westmoreland
A source of embarrassment for Libyans, Gadhafi has never been a joke: disappearances, a police state, zero freedom of expression, and poverty for at least a third of the population of country tremendously wealthy thanks to oil.
Mona Eltahawy
I’m a bit of a loner, you know? I’m more quiet by nature. And coming from, you know, hillbilly country, I’m probably more reserved.
Brad Pitt
My vision is to put this country and the British people first and for us to divorce ourselves from political union and re-engage with the rest of the world.
Nigel Farage
May Heaven be propitious, and smile on the cause of my country.
Zebulon Pike
With a post Brexit economic policy that sets our economy and country on the right track, with new freedoms, the U.K. will exercise greater fiscal flexibility and regulatory reform to transform our country into a dynamic engine of prosperity, job creation and growth.
Priti Patel
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.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Some of my fondest memories of the early years of Netflix have to do with our efforts to figure out the most efficient, effective, and fast methods to get DVDs to people all over the country.
Marc Randolph
It’s a great privilege and an honour to have the experiences and opportunities that I do to meet extraordinary Australians right across our country who share a great generosity of spirit.
Quentin Bryce
The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one’s country deep enough to call her to a higher plain.
George McGovern
It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between.
Diane Ackerman
Ours is a country built more on people than on territory. The Jews will come from everywhere: from France, from Russia, from America, from Yemen… Their faith is their passport.
David Ben-Gurion
Leadership is inspiring extraordinary people to step up and serve their country.
Justin Trudeau
Winning the World Cup was very special because it meant so much to so many. One thing about our country that is constant is cricket. The smile it brought to people’s faces was the thing I shall always remember. It reminded me, reminded all of us, of our importance to the lives of the Indian people less lucky than we are.
MS Dhoni
We live in a country where John Lennon takes eight bullets, Yoko Ono is walking right beside him and not one hits her. Explain that to me!
Denis Leary
We will not allow our country ever to be at the mercy of commodity price volatility or external markets.
Mohammad bin Salman
We don’t sell a car, we sell a dream. We are Italy’s national team. There are many great soccer teams in our country, but there is only one Ferrari.
Luca Cordero di Montezemolo
The Army is into every business in this country. Except hairdressing.
Asma Jahangir
What’s great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you can know that the President drinks Coke. Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too.
Andy Warhol
I thought in this country, the best social program was a job. Yet minimum wage jobs aren’t paying enough to keep families out of poverty.
Barbara Mikulski
The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western world. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity – much less dissent.
Gore Vidal
You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.
Frank Zappa
Democracy, good governance and modernity cannot be imported or imposed from outside a country.
Emile Lahoud
Kerala is called ‘God’s own country.’ We need to make sure it is really so, for which we should ensure the entire state, including rivers and backwaters, are clean.
Pinarayi Vijayan
The military might of a country represents its national strength. Only when it builds up its military might in every way can it develop into a thriving country.
Kim Jong-un
My lesson from history is that if there is a strong moderate centrist party which can lead the country, there is no room for extremists from the right or left.
Viktor Orban
The future will belong to those who have passion and are willing to work hard to make our country better.
Paul Wellstone
Above all, this country is our own. Nobody has to get up in the morning and worry what his neighbors think of him. Being a Jew is no problem here.
Golda Meir
I don’t have a personal life. Whatever I have is for the country and society.
Yogi Adityanath
America is the greatest country on Earth – and when people vote with their feet, they come here.
Michael Bloomberg
A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.
Texas Guinan
Hip-hop and country aren’t too far different: They got shiny suits and the boots and the guitars with their names on it. I was infatuated with that type of stuff.
Post Malone
What the country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds.
Will Rogers
When you decide to get involved in a military operation in a place like Syria, you’ve got to be prepared, as we learned from Iraq and Afghanistan, to become the government, and I’m not sure any country, either the United States or I don’t hear of anyone else, who’s willing to take on that responsibility.
Colin Powell
We believe in freedom, freedom for the people of each country to follow their destiny without external interference.
Lal Bahadur Shastri
One country, one constitution, one destiny.
Daniel Webster
I’m just a simple country girl.
Dolly Parton
In order to lead a country or a company, you’ve got to get everybody on the same page and you’ve got to be able to have a vision of where you’re going. America can’t have a vision of health care for everybody, green economy, regulations – can’t have a bunch of piece-meal activities. It’s got to have a vision.
Jack Welch
But just as they did in Philadelphia when they were writing the constitution, sooner or later, you’ve got to compromise. You’ve got to start making the compromises that arrive at a consensus and move the country forward.
Colin Powell
In defence of Madiba’s legacy, we will continue to wage a relentless war on corruption and mismanagement of the resources of our country.
Cyril Ramaphosa
Anyone who wants to look at sunlight naturally wipes his eye clear first, in order to make, at any rate, some approximation to the purity of that on which he looks; and a person wishing to see a city or country goes to the place in order to do so.
Athanasius
There is no place, no country, more compassionate more generous more accepting and more welcoming than the United States of America.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
He who never leaves his country is full of prejudices.
Carlo Goldoni
The Windrush era is a very important part of British history as it helps us understand how and why we became the multicultural society we are today, and also helps us understand the history of race relations in this country.
Naomie Harris
Let’s face it, we really did need something like this in this country to fight childhood obesity.
Jill Biden
Parliament of the country is the repository of the sovereign will of the people, and its successful functioning is a joint responsibility of both the government and the Opposition.
Pratibha Patil
I think that most people who complain about our government have no idea what they’re talking about because they’ve never been to a country with a bad government.
Whitney Tilson
The beauty of our country is that when it was founded that they took some time to lay out civil liberties in the first 10 Amendments – the Bill of Rights. I’m a firm believer in those civil liberties and the ability to have your own opinion.
Aaron Rodgers
Look, we want freedom and we want liberty in this country. But we’ve also got to have the guts to stand up and run a tight ship in America. Morality is now a word that many people consider very square and outdated. But if we don’t stand up for it, we deserve what we will get in the end – unprincipled anarchy.
Cliff Robertson
For any young democracy, the most difficult but important step is burying the legacy of tyranny and establishing an economy and a government and institutions that abide by the rule of law. Every country faces challenges to the rule of law, including my own.
Joe Biden
A Country is not a mere territory; the particular territory is only its foundation. The Country is the idea which rises upon that foundation; it is the sentiment of love, the sense of fellowship which binds together all the sons of that territory.
Giuseppe Mazzini
I can’t identify a race of people in this country who are more committed to the health of this country, who believe more in the Constitution, who believe more in equality and liberation and fairness to everyone else than black people.
Bryan Stevenson
My first novel, ‘The Tiger’s Daughter,’ embodies the loneliness I felt but could not acknowledge, even to myself, as I negotiated the no man’s land between the country of my past and the continent of my present.
Bharati Mukherjee
My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
John F. Kennedy
In truth, there is no rational argument for guns in this society. This is no longer a frontier nation in which people hunt their own food. It is a crowded, overwhelmingly urban country in which letting people have access to guns is a continuing disaster.
Molly Ivins
There is nothing nobler than risking your life for your country.
Nick Lampson
We establish no religion in this country, nor will we ever. But we poison our society when we remove its theological underpinnings. We court corruption when we leave society devoid of belief.
Jeff Miller
Leadership to me means duty, honor, country. It means character, and it means listening from time to time.
George W. Bush
Please, please stop saying that Ukraine is a corrupt country, because from now, it’s not true. We want to change this image.
Volodymyr Zelensky
Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.
Douglas MacArthur
If you’re black in this country, if you’re a woman in this country, if you are any minority in this country at all, what could possibly possess you to vote Republican?
Cher
Nigeria’s unity is one for which enough blood has been spilled and many hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost. Many have paid for the unity of this country with their lives, and it will be wrong of us, as men and women of goodwill in this generation, to toy with those sacrifices that have been made.
Yemi Osinbajo
Patriotism is easy to understand in America. It means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country.
Calvin Coolidge
We as a country have something to learn from Israel, especially in the areas of security and defense, and we will of course be doing that.
Volodymyr Zelensky
The land is ours. It’s not European and we have taken it, we have given it to the rightful people… Those of white extraction who happen to be in the country and are farming are welcome to do so, but they must do so on the basis of equality.
Robert Mugabe
It doesn’t matter what country or what political system you are from. Space brings you together.
Valentina Tereshkova
Every perfect traveler always creates the country where he travels.
Nikos Kazantzakis
So long as you are ready to die for humanity, the life of your country is immortal.
Giuseppe Mazzini
I am upset and completely disappointed in the government, the millionaires and billionaires in the U.S. See what’s happening to the country? Look at all the health problems, the economy, the recession and crime.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Though I love my country, I do not love my countrymen.
Lord Byron
On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we’re going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future.
Barack Obama
I’m going to try to make happy songs or some political songs, like ‘A Country Boy Can Survive’ – something people can get excited about.
Hank Williams Jr.
I was deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq with British Special Forces Units. I have great respect for the British military and the country as a whole, so I don’t have anything negative to say about that.
Tim Kennedy
Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is the advertiser who provides the paper for the subscriber. It is not to be disputed, that the publisher of a newspaper in this country, without a very exhaustive advertising support, would receive less reward for his labor than the humblest mechanic.
Alexander Hamilton
I have said, with respect to authorization bills, that I do not want the Congress or the country to commit fiscal suicide on the installment plan.
Everett Dirksen
It was expected of all good middle-class Indian people to build India and, as you know, Indians – when we say, ‘build India,’ it was all about being an accountant, a lawyer, an engineer. So it was this idea that professionals would build the country.
Shekhar Kapur
I tremble for my country when I hear of confidence expressed in me. I know too well my weakness, that our only hope is in God.
Robert E. Lee
No moral code or ethical principle, no piece of scripture or holy teaching, can be summoned to defend what we have allowed our country to become.
Matthew Desmond
Violence is a part of America. I don’t want to single out rap music. Let’s be honest. America’s the most violent country in the history of the world, that’s just the way it is. We’re all affected by it.
Spike Lee
The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.
Walt Whitman
What this country needs is more unemployed politicians.
Angela Davis
When I was growing up, my mum was doing illegal smuggling with China. Sometimes she would see a fortune teller for advice. One time I went with her: ‘In your future, you’ll be living in foreign country and eating the foreign country rice,’ she said.
Lee Hyeon-seo
Construction is an important front for solidifying the foundations of a thriving country and creating bases for the people’s happy life.
Kim Jong-un
Our country has often stood like a solid rock in the face of common danger, and there is a deep underlying unity which runs like a golden thread through all our seeming diversity.
Lal Bahadur Shastri
God blessed us with all this money, so why not take the money and put it into my brother’s case? Talk about social and racial injustice in our country, and mass incarceration in our country?
Ty Dolla Sign
Who serves his country well has no need of ancestors.
Voltaire
Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.
George Burns
As governor of my country, I have been an enemy to its enemies.
William Wallace
If we’re not protecting our women and we’re not protecting our girls and we’re not protecting the most vulnerable people in this society, who are we as a country?
Deb Haaland
Patriots always talk of dying for their country and never of killing for their country.
Bertrand Russell
I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.
Thomas Jefferson
In a progressive country change is constant; change is inevitable.
Benjamin Disraeli
In no other country in the world is the love of property keener or more alert than in the United States, and nowhere else does the majority display less inclination toward doctrines which in any way threaten the way property is owned.
Alexis de Tocqueville
What has happened has happened. What is done cannot be undone. There is no point in looking back and ruminating over the past. I am a forward-looking man. I want to look ahead; I want to put my past behind me. I want to make my country proud.
Mohammad Azharuddin
An elite is someone who’s for themselves and not for the country.
Steve Bannon
We’re in greater danger today than we were the day after Pearl Harbor. Our military is absolutely incapable of defending this country.
Ronald Reagan
A country that cannot feed itself cannot have self-pride, and in the mid-’60s 20 percent of all the wheat produced in America came into India. We were agriculturally a basket case. And 15 years later, 20 years later, we have become an agricultural power. This is the famous Green Revolution.
Jairam Ramesh
No man is a hero in his own country.
John Monash
This country is being managed to death, being public related to death.
Kurt Vonnegut
If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America.
Nelson Mandela
We cannot, as a country, improve economically, socially, and culturally without quality education.
Lucio Tan
Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.
Douglas MacArthur
I am an American. I love my country and have great hopes for it. It is for this reason that I speak candidly and sometimes critically about it. I have benefited greatly from the freedom that exists in my country, and for this, I am eternally grateful.
Johnny Depp
As a child you dream of playing for your country, but when it really happens you do not know how to react.
Ajinkya Rahane
It was a bit difficult in England at first with the weather and the rain, but I love the football culture in this country.
Sadio Mane
The more we view the country through the prism of Aboriginality, the more likely we are to get the angle right.
Paul Keating
The first time I ever put on a cowboy hat for a video a lot of people on my team was like, ‘Are you sure? You know, we don’t want people we think we country.’ I’m like, ‘It’s cute! I don’t care what people think.’
Megan Thee Stallion
When I won the world championship, in 1972, the United States had an image of, you know, a football country, a baseball country, but nobody thought of it as an intellectual country.
Bobby Fischer
Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family.
George Bernard Shaw
Only he can understand what a farm is, what a country is, who shall have sacrificed part of himself to his farm or country, fought to save it, struggled to make it beautiful. Only then will the love of farm or country fill his heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
India does not need to become anything else. India must become only India. This is a country that once upon a time was called the golden bird.
Narendra Modi
Conservatism is not the problem. Conservatism is the founding of this country, essentially. Conservatism isn’t even really an ideology. Conservatism is just what is right, proper, decent, and moral. That’s all it is.
Rush Limbaugh
My country right or wrong; when right, to keep her right; when wrong, to put her right.
Carl Schurz
We are going to secure this country. We are going to manage it properly. We will continue to improve the situation, security, economy, and fighting corruption.
Muhammadu Buhari
It is a sweet and seemly thing to die for one’s country.
Horace
Let me recommend the best medicine in the world: a long journey, at a mild season, through a pleasant country, in easy stages.
James Madison
As Governor of my country, I have been an enemy to its enemies; I have slain the English; I have mortally opposed the English King; I have stormed and taken the towns and castles which he unjustly claimed as his own.
William Wallace
My mother and father didn’t know anything about instruments. Me just see a man in the country play guitar one time and say, ‘My, the man play that guitar nice.’
Peter Tosh
We now have to see our country surrender to the enemy without demonstrating our power up to 120 percent. We are now on a course for a humiliating peace – or, rather, a humiliating surrender.
Hideki Tojo
The draft is white people sending black people to fight yellow people to protect the country they stole from red people.
James Rado
Within less than an hour of arriving in Singapore, it was clear we had arrived in a country where eating has been elevated to the status of a national pastime.
Fiona Bruce
I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America.
Alexis de Tocqueville
For me, it was a lot of hard work doing theater eight nights a week around the country, going from job to job.
Brian Baumgartner
There are two sayings that are familiar in every news room across the country: 1. sex sells; 2. if it bleeds it leads.
Armstrong Williams
I just passed my identification crisis and came back to country music.
Gram Parsons
We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both.
Louis D. Brandeis
As a young boy in a new country, you had to make new friends, and that was really difficult.
Victor Moses
There is no Left and Right any more. Left and Right is irrelevant… We need big change. We’ve got to get back control of our country.
Nigel Farage
A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards.
Theodore Roosevelt
I do not think white America is committed to granting equality to the American Negro. This is a passionately racist country; it will continue to be so in the foreseeable future.
Susan Sontag
Country music is the people’s music. It just speaks about real life and about truth and it tells things how they really are.
Faith Hill
I always said that to get India stronger, first strengthen its roots, and all our roots are our country’s interiors, rural areas, and villages.
Raveena Tandon
We choose our sex, our color, our country, and then we look around for the particular set of parents who will mirror the pattern we are bringing in to work on in this lifetime.
Louise L. Hay
My greatest happiness is to serve my gracious King and Country and I am envious only of glory; for if it be a sin to covet glory I am the most offending soul alive.
Horatio Nelson
My first big mission for UNICEF in Ethiopia was just to attract attention, before it was too late, to conditions which threatened the whole country. My role was to inform the world, to make sure that the people of Ethiopia were not forgotten.
Audrey Hepburn
One of the things that amazes me is the amount of functional illiteracy in this country… people can’t read to get around, or people who can’t read the newspaper but can barely read street signs.
Edward Albert
We have but one flag, one country; let us stand together. We may differ in color, but not in sentiment. Many things have been said about me which are wrong, and which white and black persons here, who stood by me through the war, can contradict.
Nathan Bedford Forrest
The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable. It has led us up those last few steps to the mountain pass; and beyond there is a different country.
J. Robert Oppenheimer
It is shallow people who think beauty is frivolous or excessive. If you are bringing beauty and god, you are enriching the country. Rice feeds the body, books feed the mind, beauty feeds the soul. It is one thing I can really be proud of and stand tall in the world.
Imelda Marcos
The immediate future is going to be tragic for all of us unless we find a way of making the vast educational resources of this country serve the true purpose of education, truth and justice.
Anne Sullivan
You’ve got to reach a hand of friendship across the aisle and across philosophies in this country.
Joe Biden
Hatred, racism, and extremism have no place in this country.
Angela Merkel
Congress has an obligation to protect our country’s natural beauty, embodied in our nation’s parks, rivers, and breathtaking landscapes.
Dave Reichert
The brave man inattentive to his duty, is worth little more to his country than the coward who deserts in the hour of danger.
Andrew Jackson
Illegal immigration is crisis for our country. It is an open door for drugs, criminals, and potential terrorists to enter our country. It is straining our economy, adding costs to our judicial, healthcare, and education systems.
Timothy Murphy
Every day, women and girls are finding incredible confidence and taking risks. When they change one mind, pretty soon, they have changed one tradition. That changed tradition has changed a village. That one village has changed a country. That new reality means new opportunities for themselves and their daughters.
Jill Biden
If you play cricket for India, money is bound to come, and with IPL in and match money of the Ranjhi trophy, I think money is there. There’s no good reason why you should not work hard, because at the end of the day, you want to play for your country.
MS Dhoni
I come from no country, from no city, no tribe. I am the son of the road… all tongues and all prayers belong to me. But I belong to none of them.
Amin Maalouf
I see myself as half country boy and half city boy, so I need both to balance me out. I couldn’t spend all of my time in either place.
Johnny Iuzzini
During most of my life, my contact with Jews and Judaism was slight. I gave little thought to their problems, save in asking myself, from time to time, whether we were showing by our lives due appreciation of the opportunities which this hospitable country affords. My approach to Zionism was through Americanism.
Louis D. Brandeis
Science and technology are a propellant for building a thriving country, and the happiness of the people and the future of the country hinge on their development.
Kim Jong-un
The world, as a rule, does not live on beaches and in country clubs.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
People call me wild. Not really though, I’m not. I guess I’ve never been normal, not what you call Establishment. I’m country.
Johnny Cash
The future generation is not going to judge India just on the basis of one election. There are greater things by which the country is judged. The future generation is going to want a strong economy.
Sanjay Gandhi
My election only proves that the citizens are tired of the experienced politicians who over the past 28 years created a country of opportunities – opportunities to steal, bribe and loot.
Volodymyr Zelensky
I’m one of those people, in any country I’m in, if somebody could just put me in a car or a bus, I’ll look out the window and say, ‘OK, there’s the Tower of London, there’s Buckingham Palace, there’s Big Ben,’ and if it all takes about five minutes, perfect. I’ve seen all of it and I can go home.
Gilbert Gottfried
Barack knows the American Dream because he’s lived it, and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are or where we’re from or what we look like or who we love.
Michelle Obama
I fear no motion of no confidence or impeachment, for they are the lawful mechanisms for the people of this beautiful country to remove their president.
Jacob Zuma
It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person. So violence isn’t merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Egypt is not a country we live in but a country that lives within us.
Pope Shenouda III
We have one of the highest interest rates in the world, and we owe more money per capita than any other country. All we need is a nail hole in the bottom of the boat and we’re sunk.
Pauline Hanson
The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks.
Samuel Adams
If the great American people will only keep their temper, on both sides of the line, the troubles will come to an end, and the question which now distracts the country will be settled just as surely as all other difficulties of like character which have originated in this government have been adjusted.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe Ronald Reagan can make this country what it once was… a large Arctic region covered with ice.
Robin Williams
Is it wrong for me to love my own? Is it wicked for me because my skin is red? Because I am Sioux? Because I was born where my father lived? Because I would die for my people and my country?
Sitting Bull
This country was fine in my opinion before Brexit, so let’s all settle down.
Chris Kamara
This self-congratulatory notion Americans have that their country is Number One is borne of ignorance and bad manners.
Bryan Cranston
I used to tell my husband that, if he could make me ‘understand’ something, it would be clear to all the other people in the country.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I like to sing. I write music. Country songs. You have to if you’re in Nashville. It’s part of the lease. You sign a lease that says, I will write country songs and pay my rent on time.
Jim Varney
My mom used to call me a parrot, because the way I spoke would change in every country we’d go to.
Hannah Simone
My favourite flowers are English country roses – I had a bouquet of them for my wedding.
Kate Moss
If we are marked to die, we are enough to do our country loss; and if to live, the fewer men, the greater share of honor.
William Shakespeare
It’s time to listen to the stories of the Indigenous; we are blessed as a country to look to the wisdom of a really old country.
Gord Downie
I can write a song in about an hour if it’s a simple country song.
Dolly Parton
In Los Angeles all the loose objects in the country were collected, as if America had been tilted and everything that wasn’t tightly screwed down had slid into Southern California.
Saul Bellow
Canada’s the best country in the world.
Justin Bieber
Only peril can bring the French together. One can’t impose unity out of the blue on a country that has 265 different kinds of cheese.
Charles de Gaulle
I have Chinese blood in me… I am not ashamed to admit that perhaps the great leaders of our country all have Chinese blood.
Ferdinand Marcos
In this country, it doesn’t make any difference where you were born. It doesn’t make any difference who your parents were. It doesn’t make any difference if, like me, you couldn’t even speak English until you were in your twenties.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
The Clinton administration launched an attack on people in Texas because those people were religious nuts with guns. Hell, this country was founded by religious nuts with guns. Who does Bill Clinton think stepped ashore on Plymouth Rock?
P. J. O’Rourke
I think Australia has to be a country which has the ‘Welcome’ sign out.
Paul Keating
We can win respect in the world only if we are strong internally and can banish poverty and unemployment from our country.
Lal Bahadur Shastri
The regulator’s job is not to guarantee us a profit, however much we cry. The regulator’s job is to first make sure that the country goes forward and then make sure that the consumer goes forward.
Mukesh Ambani
The soul is part of the body. The mind is part of the body. When folks do physical violence to black people, to black bodies in this country, the soul as we construe it is damaged, too – the mind is damaged, too.
Ta-Nehisi Coates
In most of Pakistan it is a feudal country. People are very scared and oppressed by authority. But when you move to these wilder areas, they are not so easily suppressed.
Imran Khan
What do I owe to my times, to my country, to my neighbors, to my friends? Such are the questions which a virtuous man ought often to ask himself.
Johann Kaspar Lavater
I cannot, or will not, take the freedoms this country offers for granted. But these freedoms have come with a price so many times. The sacrifices made by our veterans are reminders to us of this.
Melania Trump
The man or country that fights priestcraft and priests is to my mind striking deeper for freedom than can be struck anywhere.
George Meredith
Return to your friends and tell them that we came here with no peaceful intent, but ready for battle, and determined to avenge our own wrongs and set our country free. Let your masters come and attack us: we are ready to meet them beard to beard.
William Wallace
The courts of this country should not be the places where resolution of disputes begins. They should be the places where the disputes end after alternative methods of resolving disputes have been considered and tried.
Sandra Day O’Connor
Roots are not in landscape or a country, or a people, they are inside you.
Isabel Allende
It is a call for black people in this country to unite, to recognize their heritage, to build a sense of community. It is a call for black people to define their own goals, to lead their own organizations.
Stokely Carmichael
A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian. And you devalue the citizenship of every Canadian in this place and in this country when you break down and make it conditional for anyone.
Justin Trudeau
Canada will be a strong country when Canadians of all provinces feel at home in all parts of the country, and when they feel that all Canada belongs to them.
Pierre Trudeau
I have great respect for the men and women that have fought for this country. I have family, I have friends that have gone and fought for this country. And they fight for freedom, they fight for the people, they fight for liberty and justice, for everyone.
Colin Kaepernick
The veterans of our military services have put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we enjoy. They have dedicated their lives to their country and deserve to be recognized for their commitment.
Judd Gregg
I don’t mind putting my heart out there for the audience, and for the country music fans… to be vulnerable with them… that’s my job as an artist.
Tyler Farr
Sell a country?! Why not sell the air, the great sea, as well as the earth? Did not the Great Spirit make them all for the use of his children?
Tecumseh
Chicago is known for good steaks, expensive stores and beautiful architecture. Unfortunately, the Windy City also enjoys a reputation for corrupt politics, violent crime, and some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere in the country.
Bob Barr
What this country needs what every country needs occasionally is a good hard bloody war to revive the vice of patriotism on which its existence as a nation depends.
Ambrose Bierce
I don’t think Italy is a racist country, because there are so many immigrants.
Gennaro Gattuso
Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country.
Vladimir Lenin
I’m an outdoor person. You’ll always see me outdoors – mountain biking, going to the park, going outside throwing the football. I love being on the water. I go canoeing, kayaking, anything really. I like extreme sports too. ATVs, dirt bikes. I am a country girl. Fishing, hunting, hog hunting.
Brittney Griner
Italy will never be a normal country. Because Italy is Italy. If we were a normal country, we wouldn’t have Rome. We wouldn’t have Florence. We wouldn’t have the marvel that is Venice.
Matteo Renzi
The country will never vote in favour of those who do not acknowledge Lord Ram and Lord Krishna.
Yogi Adityanath
I haven’t been baptised. My dad’s not in the church and is not a religious person. My mum is more spiritual – she does Thai-chi and goes to Stonehenge and things like that. I’m proud to be pagan. Finland is not really a religious country. I’m still looking for my god.
Ville Valo
He serves his party best who serves his country best.
Rutherford B. Hayes
I think a failed state is the responsibility of the people who have made that state fail, and those are generally the people of that country.
Lakhdar Brahimi
North Americans don’t understand… that our country is not just Cuba; our country is also humanity.
Fidel Castro
If imperialism is not banished from the country, China will perish as a nation. If China does not perish, then imperialism cannot remain.
Chiang Kai-shek
There are hundreds of millions of gun owners in this country, and not one of them will have an accident today. The only misuse of guns comes in environments where there are drugs, alcohol, bad parents, and undisciplined children. Period.
Ted Nugent
I like geography. I could tell you the capital of any country you want.
Bam Margera
Most of the memorable events I have myself been exercised in; and, for the satisfaction of the public, will briefly relate the circumstances of my adventures, and scenes of life, from my first movement to this country until this day.
Daniel Boone
I didn’t leave bodybuilding until I felt that I had gone as far as I could go. It will be the same with my film career. When I feel the time is right, I will then consider public service. I feel that the highest honor comes from serving people and your country.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
When the people who are responsible for our country ask you a direct question, I expect them to accept a direct answer, not to be blackballed because you are telling the truth.
Eartha Kitt
One day I undertook a tour through the country, and the diversity and beauties of nature I met with in this charming season, expelled every gloomy and vexatious thought.
Daniel Boone
Whenever I go to New York or any European country, they say: ‘Nawal, why don’t you get a facelift?’ I tell them, ‘I am proud of my wrinkles. Every wrinkle on my face tells the story of my life. Why should I hide my age?’
Nawal El Saadawi
We inhabit a language rather than a country.
Emil Cioran
There’s no bigger task than protecting the homeland of our country.
George W. Bush
As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what’s happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don’t seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.
Steve Jobs
I want all Egyptian people to follow my way to improve themselves. We are a huge country. We have many children. I want everyone to dream and feel they can do something.
Mohamed Salah
We are at our best when we give the ultimate sacrifice of putting other people, putting the country, putting our communities ahead of ourselves.
Cory Booker
No country can act wisely simultaneously in every part of the globe at every moment of time.
Henry Kissinger
On what rests the hope of the republic? One country, one language, one flag!
Alexander Henry
I want to play for my country and win a gold medal.
Donovan Mitchell
Problems in our country haven’t been caused by Donald Trump, America and its ambitions or CIA spies. Our problems are rooted in a bad government system, the lack of free elections, independent courts and freedom of speech.
Ksenia Sobchak
A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained in arms, is the best most natural defense of a free country.
James Madison
I’ve moved to Australia, to amazing parents who gave me unconditional love, to being educated and submerged in an amazing country and society.
Saroo Brierley
Malcolm X was the first political person in this country that I really identified with. If he had lived and not been purged, I probably would have joined the Muslims.
Huey Newton
Given a fair shot, given a fair chance, Americans have never, ever, ever, ever let their country down. Never. Never. Ordinary people like us. Who do extraordinary things.
Joe Biden
Let us form one body, one heart, and defend to the last warrior our country, our homes, our liberty, and the graves of our fathers.
Tecumseh
I need both to feel good: the energy of the city and the quietness of the country.
Charlotte Casiraghi
There is a power in public opinion in this country – and I thank God for it: for it is the most honest and best of all powers – which will not tolerate an incompetent or unworthy man to hold in his weak or wicked hands the lives and fortunes of his fellow-citizens.
Martin Van Buren
When I was growing up, officers in uniform were very impressive to me. They were doing a job. They were protecting our country; they were heroes. When you wear an old military jacket, there’s some sort of connection to those qualities – to being strong, to being tough, to being a warrior.
Ralph Lauren
Let no man write my epitaph… When my country takes her place among the nations of the earth, then shall my character be vindicated, then may my epitaph be written.
Robert Emmet
I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country’s most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General.
Smedley Butler
I do think the patriotic thing to do is to critique my country. How else do you make a country better but by pointing out its flaws?
Bill Maher
If you don’t focus on the future generation, it means you are destroying your country.
Malala Yousafzai
Switzerland is a country where very few things begin, but many things end.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
America is not just a country, it’s an idea, and real Americans are getting busy.
Bono
My definition of country music is really pretty simple. It’s when someone sings about their life and what they know, from an authentic place.
Taylor Swift
I don’t actually subscribe to the view that all power corrupts. But absolute power – when secured on the back of massive parliamentary majorities, which don’t reflect the balance of political opinion in the country – can corrupt absolutely.
Charles Kennedy
Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it’s very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.
Nelson Mandela
America may be the best country in the world, but that’s kind of like being the valedictorian of summer school.
Dennis Miller
Most people don’t want to change. They’re comfortable and set in their ways. But in order to change, you have to be able to agitate people at times. And I think that’s something that’s very necessary for us to improve as a country.
Colin Kaepernick
Venezuela is a free country, and we will not be blackmailed by anyone. We will not accept being told what to do over Iran; we will not accept being anyone’s colony.
Hugo Chavez
The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
George S. Patton
It’s very clear that AI is going to impact every industry. I think that every nation needs to make sure that AI is a part of their national strategy. Every country will be impacted.
Jensen Huang
There is no surer sign of decay in a country than to see the rites of religion held in contempt.
Niccolo Machiavelli
Let us reject violence and selfishness which could destroy our country’s unity.
Mwai Kibaki
It may be true that you can’t fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.
Will Durant
To rule a country of a thousand chariots, there must be reverent attention to business, and sincerity; economy in expenditure, and love for men; and the employment of the people at the proper seasons.
Confucius
I would like to be remembered as a guy who had a set of priorities, and was willing to live by those priorities. In terms of accomplishments, my biggest accomplishment is that I kept the country safe amidst a real danger.
George W. Bush
Black America now has the power to achieve economic inclusion, which we rightfully deserve because we built this country. This is a conversation that white America doesn’t really want to have.
Byron Allen
If you don’t know how great this country is, I know someone who does; Russia.
Robert Frost
America is not just a country, it’s an idea, and real Americans are getting busy.
Bono
Liberals are some of the most arrogant, condescending smart alecks, but they’re just pure ignorant, and they fit the bill of people who have no love and no respect for the founding of this country.
Rush Limbaugh
Morality is the custom of one’s country and the current feeling of one’s peers.
Samuel Butler
All of us that have teams want to pick the right people. I’ve thought a lot about that. In the NFL, we’ve got 13 scouts traveling the country. We’re trying to pick 22 year-olds coming out of college who will be successful in the NFL. It’s very hard to do. What I’ve learned is it’s always character first.
Joe Gibbs
The transition from dictatorship to democracy is always very difficult, and if you read a history of any country that went through this, it wasn’t easy. And, you know, you don’t end dictatorship one day and next day you have fully fledged democracy.
Wael Ghonim
Princeton is no longer a thing for Princeton men to please themselves with. Princeton is a thing with which Princeton men must satisfy the country.
Woodrow Wilson
When a citizen gives his suffrage to a man of known immorality he abuses his trust; he sacrifices not only his own interest, but that of his neighbor; he betrays the interest of his country.
Noah Webster
Terror is only justice: prompt, severe and inflexible; it is then an emanation of virtue; it is less a distinct principle than a natural consequence of the general principle of democracy, applied to the most pressing wants of the country.
Maximilien Robespierre
The unique thing about our country is that we have Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Parsis, and people of all other religions. We have temples and mosques, gurdwaras and churches. But we do not bring all this into politics… This is the difference between India and Pakistan.
Lal Bahadur Shastri
When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.
Clifton Fadiman
John F. Kennedy was the victim of the hate that was a part of our country. It is a disease that occupies the minds of the few but brings danger to the many.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I had no money, no training facilities, no snow, no ski jumps, no trainer, but I still managed to ski jump for my country – and getting there was my gold medal.
Eddie the Eagle
If your neighbor has a completely different view on abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, all of those things, you still are both Americans. Neither one of you is necessarily more patriotic than the other. Neither loves their country any more than the other one does.
Phil McGraw
The country I live in is never clear about its name. My passport says ‘the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,’ and citizens of the U.K. may call themselves British, English, Scottish, Welsh or from Northern Ireland.
Gavin Esler
Part of the American dream is to live long and die young. Only those Americans who are willing to die for their country are fit to live.
Douglas MacArthur
You don’t know what hard times are, daddy. Hard times are when the textile workers around this country are out of work, they got 4 or 5 kids and can’t pay their wages, can’t buy their food. Hard times are when the autoworkers are out of work, and they tell ’em to go home.
Dusty Rhodes
In my country of South Africa, we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings, children of the same God, by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights.
Desmond Tutu
I lived with my parents in Belarus, and I went to Russian kindergarten, which is where I learned Russian. Belarus had just become an independent country; there was no food in the supermarkets, so it looked very post-war, very Soviet.
Yung Lean
The love of one’s country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?
Pablo Casals
Those who own the country ought to govern it.
John Jay
In today’s world, new infections and diseases can spread across the country and even across the world in a matter of days, or even hours, making early detection critical.
John Linder
Men do not fight for flag or country, for the Marine Corps or glory or any other abstraction. They fight for one another. And if you came through this ordeal, you would age with dignity.
William Manchester
To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time.
James Baldwin
Liberals in Congress have spent the past three decades pandering to environmental extremists. The policies they have put in place are in large part responsible for the energy crunch we are seeing today. We have not built a refinery in this country for 30 years.
Marsha Blackburn
If you talk bad about country music, it’s like saying bad things about my momma. Them’s fightin’ words.
Dolly Parton
Until I see an Arab country, a Muslim country, with a democracy, I won’t understand how anyone can have a problem with how they’re treated.
John Lydon
Things in our country run in spite of government, not by aid of it.
Will Rogers
Let us all take more responsibility, not only for ourselves and our families but for our communities and our country.
William J. Clinton
When I was 2, we moved into an imposing country mansion 8 miles west of Cardiff, Wales.
Roald Dahl
What the country needs are a few labor-making inventions.
Arnold H. Glasow
If you look around in London, there is a lot of dirty money. People see it as a safe haven: a bolthole to rely on if they are criminal or politically exposed in their own country.
James Watkins
A man’s country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.
George William Curtis
Polls? Nah… they’re for strippers and cross country skiers.
Sarah Palin
Women and girls are naturally agents of change. If we teach one girl to code, she will go on to teach more – we’ve seen this in our own programs and workshops around the country.
Kimberly Bryant
I grew up with the Highwaymen, which was Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson. Mom and Dad rode rodeo, so country music was always in the house and the car. They threw in some Dolly Parton, too.
Christian Kane
Marx and Lenin were ahead of their time. Marx wrote before offshoring of jobs and the financialization of the economy. Lenin presided over a communist revolution that jumped the gun by taking place in a country in which feudal elements still predominated over capitalism.
Paul Craig Roberts
One person alone can’t do anything as important as bringing genuine democracy to a country.
Aung San Suu Kyi
It is part of the photographer’s job to see more intensely than most people do. He must have and keep in him something of the receptiveness of the child who looks at the world for the first time or of the traveler who enters a strange country.
Bill Brandt
Too bad all the people who know how to run this country are busy running taxicabs or cutting hair.
George Burns
There can be no two opinions as to what a highbrow is. He is the man or woman of thoroughbred intelligence who rides his mind at a gallop across country in pursuit of an idea.
Virginia Woolf
When a country has the skill and self-confidence to take action against its biggest problems, it makes outsiders eager to be a part of it.
Bill Gates
I’ve had trouble now and again in Nigeria because I have spoken up about the mistreatment of factions in the country because of difference in religion. These are things we should put behind us.
Chinua Achebe
Aside from the states, Israel’s my favorite country. I love it there. I still go there to visit.
P. J. Tucker
Koreans stuck to their traditional way of life without knowing what was going on outside the country. We were like frogs in a well.
Park Chung-hee
Increasing inequality in income distribution in this country has broader policy implications, and there is also the growing problem of perverse incentives that result from executives receiving grossly disproportionate compensation based on decisions they themselves take.
Barney Frank
This is the richest country in the world. There’s no reason kids should be going to school hungry. Food is something that everyone should have. It just is.
Viola Davis
Sir Hugh Greene is the man I hold most responsible for the state of our country today. For 11 years hardly a week went by without a sniping reference to me. And he gave access to anyone who was prepared to say anything morally subversive.
Mary Whitehouse
Bankruptcy represents a longstanding commitment in this country to helping people get a fresh start. This principle has never been giving only certain people a fresh start.
Tim Johnson
There has never been a protracted war from which a country has benefited.
Sun Tzu
I am the American Dream. I am the epitome of what the American Dream basically said. It said you could come from anywhere and be anything you want in this country. That’s exactly what I’ve done.
Whoopi Goldberg
I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
Pauline Kael
The restaurants express the spirit of the chef, the spirit of the city, the country.
Alain Ducasse
I’m interested in what it means to be an American. I’m interested in what it means to live in America. I’m interested in the kind of country that we live in and leave our kids. I’m interested in trying to define what that country is.
Bruce Springsteen
I see friends who are in different genres of music, and they say they’re so burnt playing the same stuff every night. That’s why you see a country act wanting to go out and play an old classic rock song. But what cracks me up is that they all want to be Jimmy Buffett. I can’t figure that out.
Kid Rock
These are not dark days: these are great days – the greatest days our country has ever lived.
Winston Churchill
The horrific cases in Ferguson, in Staten Island with the death of Eric Garner, and all across the country serve as stark reminders that we must have a say in who polices us, and how that policing is done. We must, we must, let our voices be heard on Election Day.
Al Sharpton
Apparently Arnold was inspired by President Bush, who proved you can be a successful politician in this country even if English is your second language.
Conan O’Brien
One person may need (or want) more leisure, another more work; one more adventure, another more security, and so on. It is this diversity that makes a country, indeed a state, a city, a church, or a family, healthy. ‘One-size-fits-all,’ and that size determined by the State has a name, and that name is ‘slavery.’
David Mamet
I went through a lot of bullying early on. Girls made my life a living hell. We had come to America from a different country. My brother and I had accents. It was very tough.
Nicki Minaj
I believe deeply that children are more powerful than oil, more beautiful than rivers, more precious than any other natural resource a country can have.
Danny Kaye
Algorithms diminish public safety in this country. They ask us to pretend that lengthy arrest records and violent crimes don’t matter. They ask police to scoop up the bad guys only for the courts to immediately release them. They turn us into a bad joke.
John Kennedy
We are a country where people of all backgrounds, all nations of origin, all languages, all religions, all races, can make a home. America was built by immigrants.
Hillary Clinton
What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz, blues, country music and so forth. I do them all, like a good utility man.
Ray Charles
There’s not an American in this country free until every one of us is free.
Jackie Robinson
I believe that President Nixon was right in what he did at Watergate. Lack of respect for authority and things like socialism are turning this into a weak, effeminate country.
Tiny Tim
New Zealand is a country of thirty thousand million sheep, three million of whom think they are human.
Barry Humphries
My hope for this country is that we remain a people who value freedom, who have the courage to face the realities with faithful hearts instead of anxious ones.
Taya Kyle
Only through the conscious action of the working masses in city and country can it be brought to life, only through the people’s highest intellectual maturity and inexhaustible idealism can it be brought safely through all storms and find its way to port.
Rosa Luxemburg
Our vision is for a country that grows what it eats and produces what it consumes. It is for a country that no longer has to import petroleum products and develop a lucrative petrochemical industry.
Yemi Osinbajo
If I don’t die in a plane crash or something, this country has a rare opportunity to watch a great talent grow.
Eddie Murphy
I’m happy living in the countryside. We are 30 minutes away from Milan, so I can drive in for dinner and drive out. It’s not a question of living in the country or in the city, it’s really a question of living in a tight, close-knit clan that makes the difference.
Margherita Missoni
We stand united, facing the big responsibility to change our country into a nation of justice, solidarity, humanity and green development.
George Papandreou
We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country.
Thomas Jefferson
I think everybody in Ukraine is so tired about Burisma. We have our own country. We have our independence, we have our problems and questions.
Volodymyr Zelensky
Our country is that spot to which our heart is bound.
Voltaire
Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country.
Margaret Thatcher
Mathematics knows no races or geographic boundaries; for mathematics, the cultural world is one country.
David Hilbert
My government is working for the common man. Our priority is the poor of the country. We want good governance through a dynamic and seamless government.
Narendra Modi
The whole country is one vast insane asylum and they’re letting the worst patients run the place.
Robert W. Welch, Jr.
No one can live entirely on their own, nor can any country or society exist in isolation.
Daisaku Ikeda
Without a sign, his sword the brave man draws, and asks no omen, but his country’s cause.
Homer
Whether you come from a council estate or a country estate, your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortitude.
Michelle Obama
As far as the constitution allows me, I will try to ensure that there is responsible and accountable governance at all levels of government in the country. For I will not have kept my own trust with the Nigerian people if I allow others abuse theirs under my watch.
Muhammadu Buhari
From the beginning of our history the country has been afflicted with compromise. It is by compromise that human rights have been abandoned.
Charles Sumner
I mean Facebook is no longer a company, it’s a country. 2 billion users. It can influence what we think, what we believe, how we vote, what we buy, even how we feel.
John Kennedy
I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.
James Baldwin
If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.
E. M. Forster
There is nothing about which I am more anxious than my country, and for its sake I am willing to die ten deaths, if that be possible.
Elizabeth I
It’s difficult to believe that people are still starving in this country because food isn’t available.
Ronald Reagan
This is just strictly me wanting to make a record that is the real deal. It is all the stuff that I have learned and know that I remember. It’s what I perceive as country music is about.
Vince Gill
The president can’t change the country on his own. But what can he do? He can give an example.
Volodymyr Zelensky
If you fall in love with a country and its people, that makes any country warm to you.
Jane Birkin
I’m not just a big-haired redhead country singer who dresses flamboyantly, has this wicked sense of humor and wears rhinestones.
Naomi Judd
The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The privilege of serving my country is not only rooted in my military service, but also in my personal history. I sit here, as a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army, an immigrant.
Alexander Vindman
Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel across the country from coast to coast without seeing anything.
Charles Kuralt
I never thought that I could reach such a high political position. But I have always been ready to serve my country.
Atifete Jahjaga
Our small and peaceful country is threatened daily by covetous and bigoted big powers whose hunger for domination and control of other nations and their resources knows no bounds.
Robert Mugabe
What could become a danger to world peace is Iran’s nuclear program and the country’s open threat to annihilate Israel.
Sigmar Gabriel
If you work hard and play by the rules, this country is truly open to you. You can achieve anything.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
God made the country, and man made the town.
William Cowper
Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Stay with us, please remain in this country and constitute a nation based on national unity.
Robert Mugabe
I am a huge bull on this country. We will not have a double-dip recession at all. I see our businesses coming back almost across the board.
Warren Buffett
The results of a new study are out this week saying that New Jersey is one of the most livable states in the country. The study has a margin of error of 100 percent.
Conan O’Brien
You can be a little ungrammatical if you come from the right part of the country.
Robert Frost
I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor food; I offer only hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Let him who loves his country with his heart, and not merely with his lips, follow me.
Giuseppe Garibaldi
I can’t imagine there has ever been a more gratifying time or place to be alive than America in the 1950s. No country had ever known such prosperity.
Bill Bryson
My father has been serious with me because he wanted me to have the best opportunities to do well. I think that has been a huge benefit for me coming from a small country like Norway.
Casper Ruud
America’s promises do not come with a price tag. We meet our commitments. We bear our burdens. That’s one of the reasons why almost every country on Earth sees America as stronger and more respected today than they did eight years ago when I took office.
Barack Obama
There will be a winner. There will a president-elect. But there will not be a defeated people. Tomorrow, we are only one country, only one Venezuela. Tomorrow in the country there are many problems that we have to resolve. Problems do not wait.
Henrique Capriles Radonski
When Pearl Harbor was bombed, young Japanese-Americans, like all young Americans, rushed to their draft board to volunteer to fight for our country. That act of patriotism was answered with a slap in the face. We were denied service and categorized as enemy non-alien.
George Takei
When I hear of nationalism in my country today from the youngsters, I want to sit them down and tell them that flags and songs are not nationalism. Stopping at the traffic signal, opening the door for a lady, doing something for your country is nationalism.
Anubhav Sinha
I believe that a strong man makes a strong country.
Jair Bolsonaro
Gluttony is harder than it looks. It’s listed as a sin, as something you give in to, when really it’s a skill, requiring not just hunger but resilience. That’s why the most resilient city in the country, New Orleans, is also the most gluttonous.
Tom Junod
In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.
Confucius
It’s time for political leaders across the ideological spectrum to realize that, while partisanship is understandable, hyper-partisanship is destructive to our country. We need more visionary leaders who will earnestly strive for bipartisanship and finding policy solutions that can move America forward.
Martin Luther King III
Ike runs the country, and I turn the pork chops.
Mamie Eisenhower
We must begin to tell black women’s stories because, without them, we cannot tell the story of black men, white men, white women, or anyone else in this country. The story of black women is critical because those who don’t know their history are doomed to repeat it.
Kimberle Williams Crenshaw
There are nuts in this country.
John F. Kennedy Jr.
India is a secular nation and believers of all religions and atheists have a place in this country.
Pinarayi Vijayan
True country music is honesty, sincerity, and real life to the hilt.
Garth Brooks
This country was founded on a promise of equal rights for all, and we have always managed to move closer to that promise, little by little, one day at a time. It may not be easy – but we’ll get there together.
Loretta Lynch
I used to think that the Civil War was our country’s greatest tragedy, but I do remember that there were some redeeming features in the Civil War in that there was some spirit of sacrifice and heroism displayed on both sides. I see no redeeming features in Watergate.
Sam Ervin
There are over 200 million illiterate women in India. This low literacy negatively impacts not just their lives but also their families’ and the country’s economic development. A girl’s lack of education also has a negative impact on the health and well-being of her children.
Sachin Tendulkar
Two things form the bedrock of any open society – freedom of expression and rule of law. If you don’t have those things, you don’t have a free country.
Salman Rushdie
Australia is not a secular country. It is a free country. This is a nation where you have the freedom to follow any belief system you choose.
Scott Morrison
The Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act is an important authorization for our country and for our citizens, as we have seen so vividly in the last few weeks.
Russ Carnahan
All issues, therefore, must be resolved through dialogue and there can be no place for violence. Negativity and rejection cannot be the path for a vibrant country that is moving to seek its destiny.
Pratibha Patil
I never did anything alone. Whatever was accomplished in this country was accomplished collectively.
Golda Meir
As always on this boulevard, the faces were young, coming annually in an endless migration from every country, every continent, to alight here once in the long journey of their lives.
Brian Moore
To make us love our country, our country ought to be lovely.
Edmund Burke
Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply… For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much.
Alan Paton
Winning or losing of the election is less important than strengthening the country.
Indira Gandhi
In the heart of the Great Depression, millions of American workers did something they’d never done before: they joined a union. Emboldened by the passage of the Wagner Act, which made collective bargaining easier, unions organized industries across the country, remaking the economy.
James Surowiecki
This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.
Will Rogers
I was only the servant of my country and had I, at any moment, failed to express her unflinching resolve to fight and conquer, I should at once have been rightly cast aside.
Winston Churchill
I was born in Europe… and I’ve traveled all over the world. I can tell you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the United States of America.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Liberals believe that they own blacks – still. They believe they’re something proprietary about being black in this country, and if you deviate from the way they want you to think, in the way they want you to act, they grow violent.
Candace Owens
What does it say about a country that has to force its women into combat?
Lauren Boebert
So many people in this country have a dual loyalty. They have loyalty to America, but they also are determined to have their parade up Fifth Avenue once a year… a Cuban parade or a Puerto Rican parade – many other countries. So they really don’t forget.
Tom Wolfe
The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.
Sun Tzu
You’ve got to vote, vote, vote, vote. That’s it; that’s the way we move forward. That’s how we make progress for ourselves and for our country.
Michelle Obama
The country needs fiscal discipline to build a strong economy and for social justice.
Smriti Irani
Most country songs, certainly all the stuff I’ve written, are stories driven by characters.
Dolly Parton
Harold Wilson is going around the country stirring up apathy.
William Whitelaw
Out of profound gratitude for my adopted country, I can only say that I would like in this land to live and die, and while I live to help other people as much as possible, believing that only in service to other people can I possibly express my gratitude for all that America has done for me.
Peter Marshall
If ever I feel the soul within me elevate and expand to those dimensions not wholly unworthy of its Almighty Architect, it is when I contemplate the cause of my country, deserted by all the world beside, and I standing up boldly and lone and hurling defiance at her victorious oppressors.
Abraham Lincoln
Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea.
John Gunther
The planter, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer… form the great body of the people of the United States, they are the bone and sinew of the country men who love liberty and desire nothing but equal rights and equal laws.
Andrew Jackson
It is very nearly impossible… to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind.
James Baldwin
No one can pass through life, any more than he can pass through a bit of country, without leaving tracks behind, and those tracks may often be helpful to those coming after him in finding their way.
Robert Baden-Powell
I am willing to serve my country, but do not wish to sacrifice the brave men under my command.
John Buford
My works are Chinese literature, which is part of world literature. They show the life of Chinese people as well as the country’s unique culture and folk customs.
Mo Yan
We Americans think, in every country in transition, there’s a Thomas Jefferson hiding behind some rock or a James Madison beyond one sand dune.
Joe Biden
We would not accept any country telling us who to buy weapons from and who not to buy from.
Subrahmanyam Jaishankar
For many Taiwanese, almost all Taiwanese, we’d like to we say we are a country, and we have a sovereignty of our own.
Tsai Ing-wen
Conservatism is rooted in preservation; progressivism advances alteration. These are different love languages. These languages turn on your view of change itself: When you think of America, do you see a country struggling to be maintained or one striving to be made better?
Charles M. Blow
My country has contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.
John Adams
A Brexit with a poor outcome will damage our country and lead to years of further division.
Dominic Grieve
The only important thing I have to say is that my father never fought against his country.
Zinedine Zidane
In this enlightened age, there are few I believe, but what will acknowledge, that slavery as an institution is a moral & political evil in any country. It is useless to expatiate on its disadvantages.
Robert E. Lee
If you eat a chicken wing or a chicken tender in some parts of the country, I probably supplied it.
Herschel Walker
I suppose more than anything, it’s the way of life in this part of the country that influences my writing. In Eastern North Carolina, with the exception of Wilmington, most people live in small towns.
Nicholas Sparks
Well the country songs themselves are three-chord stories, ballads which are mostly sad. If you are already feeling sorry for yourself when you listen to them they will take you to an even sadder place.
Willie Nelson
I can assure you that my first and foremost interest is my country.
Fidel Castro
No matter what country, the love our fans have is absolutely amazing and we are so lucky to have so much support from them.
Moa Kikuchi
Our party and the Republic’s government will go hand in hand with anyone who truly desires the country’s reunification and the nation’s peaceful prosperity and will make responsible and patient efforts to accomplish the historic cause of the fatherland’s reunification.
Kim Jong-un
I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we’ve struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We’ve made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.
Barack Obama
Giving women education, work, the ability to control their own income, inherit and own property, benefits the society. If a woman is empowered, her children and her family will be better off. If families prosper, the village prospers, and eventually so does the whole country.
Isabel Allende
I feel like everyone else in this country today. I am utterly devastated.
Tony Blair
There should not be a question of legal or illegal immigration. People came and immigrated to this country from the time of the Indians. No one’s illegal. They should just be able to come.
Linda Ronstadt
When good people in any country cease their vigilance and struggle, then evil men prevail.
Pearl S. Buck
November is Native American Heritage month, and a good time to honor the legacy of our ancestors, but every day we should stop to think about our country’s beginning and that the United States would not exist if not for a great deal of sacrifice, blood, and tears by Indian Tribes across the country.
Deb Haaland
Intellectually I know that America is no better than any other country; emotionally I know she is better than every other country.
Sinclair Lewis
An ambassador is an honest man sent abroad to lie and intrigue for the benefit of his country.
Henry Wotton
Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa. If Nigeria succeeds at democratic governance it will be an anchor for all of West Africa. Africa needs a strong Nigeria.
Ed Royce
In my country we go to prison first and then become President.
Nelson Mandela
No country has ever closely scrutinized itself visually.
Dorothea Lange
And the whole thing is that you’re treated like a step-child. Here it was down here, everything in the black, because they were stealing, basically. Stealing from us old country boys down here.
Waylon Jennings
A man’s feet should be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world.
George Santayana
The most important thing I want people to know about Haiti is the fact that we have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and there is such an opportunity for this to be such a destination. It is not a country that is just turmoil.
Jason Derulo
Any cook should be able to run the country.
Vladimir Lenin
Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.
John F. Kennedy
America is a fundamentally good country. We have good people with good values who want to do the right thing. But the structures of power that exist are working to their own ends to extend their capability at the expense of the freedom of all publics.
Edward Snowden
Kneeling for the anthem does nothing to advance solutions to racial injustice, police brutality, or any other social plight. It is a slap in the face to patriotism itself. It is a statement that America as a country is no longer worth standing for.
Matt Gaetz
I appreciate the fact, and am proud of it, that the attentions I am receiving are intended more for our country than for me personally.
Ulysses S. Grant
I believe that voting is the first act of building a community as well as building a country.
John Ensign
I’m a country boy. I grew up kicking around the woods, riding dirt bikes, playing football, climbing rocks and all that good stuff, so that’s always been fun.
Taylor Kinney
As a country, we can’t teach kids how to read and write when we got 18 years to do it. And that’s – that’s a disgrace.
John Kennedy
I would die for my country but I could never let my country die for me.
Neil Kinnock
Why do we let blind people and people in wheelchairs become citizens? I feel sorry for cripples, but that doesn’t mean I want them in my country.
Ann Coulter
Only seven years ago we made a treaty by which we were assured that the buffalo country should be left to us forever. Now they threaten to take that from us also.
Sitting Bull
America is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men.
Alexander Graham Bell
America does not need another political campaign based on denial and avoidance of some of our real problems. It needs a crusade to reform and renew our country, its institutions and political system.
Richard Lamm
Every country is like a particular type of person. America is like a belligerent, adolescent boy; Canada is like an intelligent, 35-year-old woman. Australia is like Jack Nicholson. It comes right up to you and laughs very hard in your face in a highly threatening and engaging manner.
Douglas Adams
I don’t care what town you’re born in, what city, what country. If you’re a child, you are curious about your environment. You’re overturning rocks. You’re plucking leaves off of trees and petals off of flowers, looking inside, and you’re doing things that create disorder in the lives of the adults around you.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
It’s amazing to think how powerful of a force optimism and hope can be. It’s the thing that saves me. I believed that I lived in the greatest country in the world. I still believe that, and consequently, I believed that I had a chance, even though things around me were absolutely crazy and difficult.
J. D. Vance
What I can do for my country, I am willing to do.
Christopher Gadsden
This phenomenon with Betty White is so wonderfully amazing. In a world where ageism runs rampant, out of left field, all of a sudden, the country decides to celebrate Betty White, and she becomes cool at 90. That’s remarkable.
Chris Meledandri
You raise taxes during an economic crisis time, as we did in – back in the time of Herbert Hoover, you send the country into a depression.
John McCain
Where I think people are being offensive to religion in this country – whichever religion that might be, but particularly the one I and many other Christians subscribe to – well, we will just call it out, and we will demand the same respect that people should provide to all religions.
Scott Morrison
I was born in Somalia, which is in East Africa. My parents started with nothing: poor, poor, poor. They eloped, which was unheard of in my country, when my father was 17 and my mother was 14.
Iman
The greatest movement for social justice our country has ever known is the civil rights movement and it was totally rooted in a love ethic.
bell hooks
I cannot judge a country. I fall in love with the people and the place each time I visit a new place.
Mawra Hocane
People often ask me how I feel about my invention being used to kill people every day and the AK being a common weapon of ethnic conflicts. I want to make it clear that I created my assault rifle to protect my country. You can blame politicians for its spreading out of control on a global scale.
Mikhail Kalashnikov
I walk every day, and I look at the mountains and the fields and the small city, and I say: ‘Oh my God, what a blessing.’ Then you realise it’s important to put it in a context beyond this woman, this man, this city, this country, this universe.
Paulo Coelho
God bless all who serve or have served our country.
Chuck Norris
I had a simple goal in life: to be true to my parents and our country as an honorable son, a caring brother, and a good citizen.
Benigno Aquino III
Nothing can be more absurd than the practice that prevails in our country of men and women not following the same pursuits with all their strengths and with one mind, for thus, the state instead of being whole is reduced to half.
Plato
Our country is now geared to an arms economy bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and an incessant propaganda of fear.
Douglas MacArthur
I go to Malawi twice a year. It’s where two of my children were adopted from, and I have a lot of projects there that I go and check up on and children who I look after. It’s sort of a commitment that I’ve made to this country and the hundreds of thousands of children there who have been orphaned by AIDS.
Madonna Ciccone
Citizenship consists in the service of the country.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Over all our happy country – over all our Nation spread, Is a band of noble heroes – is our Army of the Dead.
Will Carleton
We don’t need a melting pot in this country, folks. We need a salad bowl. In a salad bowl, you put in the different things. You want the vegetables – the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers – to maintain their identity. You appreciate differences.
Jane Elliot
Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort; rather, it concerns the basic human rights of family, country, justice and human dignity.
Imelda Marcos
We are a multicultural country – always have been, and to our credit, always will be. It is something that we should be very proud of and embrace.
Cheech Marin
My sense is that we’re ready for another industrial revolution in this country. The great minds and innovators of Silicon Valley would come through China and say, The pipeline is full of ideas – there’s personalized medicine, biotechnology, new forms to power ourselves, clean energy, etc., etc.
Jon Huntsman, Jr.
Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.
Louis Pasteur
I think that passion is the secret ingredient that drives hard work and excellence. My passion is to serve the public: to be in the arena of public policy, to have the opportunity to solve problems for our country, to be in a position where I can make a difference.
Kelly Ayotte
Whatever position I occupied, it was the result of colleagues – of my comrades in the movement – who had decided in their wisdom to use me for the purpose of focusing the attention of the country and the international community on me.
Nelson Mandela
The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
Thomas Paine
I firmly believe that we have more latent musical talent in America than there is in any other country. But to dig it out there must be good music throughout the land, a lot of it. Everyone must hear it, and such a process takes time.
John Philip Sousa
The white people should go back to Europe, and the country should be returned to the American Indians. This is the future I would like to see for the so-called United States.
Bobby Fischer
Yes, I’m a patriotic person. For these people who disgrace the American way and burn our flag and do all of these things… I say, don’t live here and disgrace my country. Go live in the Middle East and see how you like it.
Payne Stewart
There is no such thing as a little country. The greatness of a people is no more determined by their numbers than the greatness of a man is by his height.
Victor Hugo
To die for one’s country is such a worthy fate that all compete for so beautiful a death.
Pierre Corneille
I want to continue to stay plugged into New Orleans and help people who are still struggling with the recovery here, and then, if I can help around the country and around the world, absolutely, I’ll be open to that.
Ray Nagin
The most beautiful thing in Cambodia isn’t the country – it’s the Cambodian people.
Rithy Panh
I think we forget that, for a really long time, this country has been a place that has welcomed many refugees who have made it home and have tremendously contributed to this country.
Ilhan Omar
Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have.
Winston Churchill
