Country Quotes

We are a country that prides itself on power and wealth, yet there are millions of children who go hungry every day. It is our responsibility, not only as a nation, but also as individuals, to get involved. So, next time you pass someone on the street who is in need, remember how lucky you are, and don’t turn away Picture Quote #1

I felt my country should do more for its children. Its children are not born gangsters. In fact, they have in them the potential to be heroes because most of the kids who are in these gangs are leaders, very charismatic and good organizers Picture Quote #1

His impression was that he had been imprisoned in a shelter deep down in the underworld of his personality, listening and biding his time while insanity rushed like spring flood through the upper layer of his soul, roaring and crashing, leaving terrible destruction in its wake, a deserted, ravaged country. No, he hadn’t been crazy, but something inside him had been crazy Picture Quote #1

How can we scramble away like rats, without honor, without dignity, when everyone must help rebuild the country? Picture Quote #1

In my country we say that ignorance is the warm bath in which it is comfortable to sit but dangerous to lie down Picture Quote #1

In the three minutes it takes the song to play I’m caught in a magic world of harmony and joy, a truly ecstatic joy, where the aching longing to be somewhere else, out of this city, out of this country, out of this body and out of this life, is kept at bay Picture Quote #1

As the old saw says well: every end does not appear together with its beginning. It’s impossible for someone who is human to have all good things together, just as there is no single country able to provide all good things for itself Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I tread in the footsteps of illustrious men, whose superiors it is our happiness to believe are not found on the executive calendar of any country Picture Quote #1

The man who can look upon a crisis without being willing to offer himself upon the altar of his country is not for public trust Picture Quote #1

If the rabble were lopped off at one end and the aristocrat at the other, all would be well with the country Picture Quote #1

So given that reality, let us not cast that all of the problems and ills of our society are somehow upon the immigrants who have come to this country Picture Quote #1

There is a long history in country music of songs celebrating drinking and lamenting drinking. Country songs for the most part have always been heavily rooted in reality. The first artists were the people next door. They would sing on their porch or in their living room or at a barn dance. They sang about what they knew, and a lot of that was drinking Picture Quote #1

Some people say that we here have no freedom of religion,... In reality, the people in that country are the ones who were forced to embrace a religion Picture Quote #1

Globalization is a reality. And this makes most leaders today realize that populist illusions can’t be sustained before they collapse into stagnation and leave their political supporters deeply disillusioned. You can’t inflate away your troubles or allow mountains of debt to build up if, as a country, you have to make your living in a globally competitive environment... Building prosperity requires caution and patience. It requires time. Populism is a short cut that doesn’t work Picture Quote #1

Every citizen owes to the country a vigilant watch and close scrutiny of its public servants and a fair and reasonable estimate of their fidelity Picture Quote #1

If one’s patriotism is merely instinctive it is irrational and irresponsible, and consequently a danger to one’s country Picture Quote #1

Patriotism is not endlessly bragging that out country is the best; rather it is wanting one’s country to be the best that it can be and helping it to be that best, which is a very different matter Picture Quote #1

Part of the problem with extreme patriotism is that it makes the support of one’s country and its policies unconditional. Moderate patriots, on the other hand, see that taking morality seriously requires that our commitment to our country be conditional in two ways. First, the actions or policies of a government must be worthy of support or, at least, must not be serious violations of morality. When nations behave immorally, patriots need not support them Picture Quote #1

Leadership is a dynamic tension between where a politician thinks his country must go and where his voters want it to go Picture Quote #1

For the whole earth is the tomb of famous men; not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions in their own country, but in foreign lands there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on stone but in the hearts of men Picture Quote #1

If you want something bad enough and you have that desire, you’ll walk to another state or country if you have to Picture Quote #1

You cannot get an influence from the cuisine of a country if you don’t understand it. You’ve got to study it Picture Quote #1

There is a conception in this country about luxurious things that we have to save them for a time that’s right. But an object is truly luxurious if you allow it to be, if you use it. When you live with beautiful things you stimulate your mind, you enjoy life a little bit more Picture Quote #1

The sad thing is, I was discovering that you almost have to make a joke of being good to strangers. Up and down the country, these people doing their good deeds were doubtless being seen as slightly eccentric, when in reality and in an ideal world they should be deemed the most normal people of all Picture Quote #1

Fruit of all the kinds that the country produced were laid before him; he ate very little, but from time to time a liquor prepared from cocoa, and of an aphrodisiac nature, as we were told, was presented to him in golden cups... I observed a number of jars, above fifty, brought in, filled with foaming chocolate of which he took some Picture Quote #1

I tell you the truth: if I lived in a country where there was no day appointed for elections, I would become a revolutionary, if not a terrorist. And that is because I love liberty too much; without liberty a man is not a man. He has no dignity Picture Quote #1

Chile needs to unite behind the goals of reducing poverty and creating more equal opportunities so that everyone can benefit from what the country has to offer Picture Quote #1

I believe that a man can only be useful to his country when he can look at it clearly Picture Quote #1

A president who is burdened with a failed and unpopular war, and who has lost the trust of the country, simply can no longer govern. He is destined to become as much a failure as his war Picture Quote #1
