Text Quotes
I’d like to have two armies: one for display with lovely guns, tanks, little soldiers, staffs, distinguished and doddering generals, and dear little regimental officers who would be deeply concerned over their general’s bowel movements or their colonel’s piles, an army that would be shown for a modest fee on every fairground in the country  (Country Quotes) Without an acquaintance with chemistry, the statesman must remain a stranger to the true vital interests of the state, to the means of its organic development and improvement;... The highest economic or material interests of a country, the increased and more profitable production of food for man and animals,... are most closely linked with the advancement and diffusion of the natural sciences, especially of chemistry  (Country Quotes) I do believe that it is extremely important that each one of us is a participant in life and what’s going on around us rather than being a spectator to it and if you do that, if you participate in the world, in your community, your school, your company, or your country, whatever.. they you will be useful and hopefully leave the planet a little better  (Country Quotes) Why are you doing this to me? What kind of country did I save in my previous life?  (Country Quotes) This is, in theory, still a free country, but our politically correct, censorious times are such that many of us tremble to give vent to perfectly acceptable views for fear of condemnation. Freedom of speech is thereby imperiled, big questions go undebated, and great lies become accepted, unequivocally as great truths  (Country Quotes) A country that goes out of its way to imprison the innocent has no business preaching democracy to the world  (Country Quotes) Ten men in our country could buy the whole world and ten million can’t buy enough to eat  (Country Quotes) You may think I’m brave. But in the eyes of many people back in my country I am a coward. They think, this man gave so much freedom to his daughter, he broke all the traditions of our society  (Country Quotes) Good people are seldom fully recognised during their lifetimes, and here, there are serious problems of corruption. One day it will be realised that my findings should have been acknowledged. It was difficult, but she always smiled when asked why she went on when recognition eluded her in her own country  (Country Quotes) The historian should be fearless and incorruptible; a man of independence, loving frankness and truth; one who, as the poets says, calls a fig a fig and a spade a spade. He should yield to neither hatred nor affection, not should be unsparing and unpitying. He should be neither shy nor deprecating, but an impartial judge, giving each side all it deserves but no more. He should know in his writing no country and no city; he should bow to no authority and acknowledge no king. He should never consider what this or that man will think, but should state the facts as they really occurred  (Country Quotes) When I was about 14 or 15, and running in a pretty muddy cross country race, one of my shoes stuck in the mud and came off. Boy, was I wild. To think that I had trained hard for this race and didn’t do up my shoelace tightly enough! I really got aggressive with myself, and I found myself starting to pass a lot of runners. As it turned out, I improved something like twenty places in that one race. But I never did get my shoe back  (Country Quotes) School cross country runs started because the rugby pitches were flooded. There was an alternative: extra studying. This meant there were plenty of runners on sports afternoons  (Country Quotes) If there was special interests affecting police work, I believe that would be called corruption. So, if it has do with donating money versus a popular vote, I think we have a bigger problem in this country and somebody’s gotta wake up to that  (Country Quotes) There is no part of the country where in the summer you cannot get a sufficient supply of the best specimens. Teach your children to bring them in for themselves. Take your text from the brooks, not from the booksellers  (Country Quotes) I say this as the president of the country which has suffered more deaths, more blood and more sacrifices in this war  (Country Quotes) I’m a country boy who hasn’t really been exposed to city living, and it throws me  (Country Quotes) We just believed in ourselves, and we knew that we had an entire city and maybe an enitre country behind us. What can I say? I tried to imagine what this moment would be like for a long time, and it’s better than expected  (Country Quotes) Stand up for what you think is right. That might be very different from what I am saying today, but you are allowed to differ from me just as I am allowed to differ from you. That is part of our strength as a country that we can differ from each other  (Country Quotes) We are at last being recognised as the indigenous people of this country whom must share in its future. This is not a day of national mourning for us. We must leave history behind us and look forward  (Country Quotes) The stress that they’re under is absolutely extreme. Indefinite detention. Not knowing when you’re going to get out. The threat of being sent back to a country that you fear you’re going to be murdered or tortured upon return. I mean, this is the most extreme form of stress you can possibly conjure up. And our country is doing this to these people  (Country Quotes) Older people often mistakenly consider that the young people do not care about their country, but the reverse is actually true  (Country Quotes) I’m always looking for those places where you can slam really disparate people up against one another, and they have to deal with each other. There are very few crossroads anymore. We talk about this country as this big melting pot, but it’s a mosaic. There’s all these pieces, they’re next to each other, they’re not necessarily mixing. And I’m looking for those spaces where people actually do mix  (Country Quotes) Coal makes us sick. Oil makes us sick. It’s global warming. It’s ruining our country. It’s ruining our world  (Country Quotes) I live in a country where we put children in shackles and in concrete cells. Working together, with righteousness and hope, we can create a country that is about reverence and reconciliation, not a world of shackles and concrete cells  (Country Quotes) There’s a lot of money to pay for this... the oil revenues of that country could bring between $50 and $100 billion over the course of the next two or three years... We’re dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon  (Country Quotes) What is the use of fighting for a vote if we have not got a country to vote in?  (Country Quotes) Hundreds, thousands, aye, millions of human beings, men, women and children, wander the streets of our cities and the highways of our country, hungry, ragged and cold, vainly seeking in this land of plenty, where physical want should be unknown  (Country Quotes) Look outside the window. Do you see the fence outside the palace? Do you see any guards? This is a country where everyone is safe  (Country Quotes) From my earliest childhood I nourished and cherished the desire to make a creditable journey in a new country, and write such a respectable account of its natural history as should give me a niche amongst the scientific explorers of the globe I inhabit, and hand my name down as a useful contributor of original matter  (Country Quotes) The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organised habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country  (Country Quotes)
