Nation Quotes

Our nation must engage with the rest of the world. But to be successful, we must listen. Our interaction with the world must be a conversation, not a monologue... these exchanges are a strategic pillar of our nation’s public diplomacy Picture Quote #1

We have to face the unpleasant as well as the affirmative side of the human story, including our own story as a nation, our own stories of our peoples. We have got to have the ugly facts in order to protect us from the official view of reality. Otherwise, we are squeezed empty and filled with what other people want us to think and feel and experience Picture Quote #1

Feelings of right and wrong that at first have their locus within the family gradually develop into a pattern for the tribe or city, then spread to the much larger unit of the nation, and finally from the nation to mankind as a whole Picture Quote #1

Any nation that can survive what we have lately in the way of government, is on the high road to permanent glory Picture Quote #1

There is a moment in the history of every nation, when... the perceptive powers reach their ripeness and have not yet become microscopic: so that man, at that instant... with his feet still planted on the immense forces of night, converses by his eyes and brain with solar and stellar creation Picture Quote #1

Capitalist exploitation and cartels and monopolies are the enemies of underdeveloped countries. On the other hand a regime which is completely oriented towards the people as a whole and based on the principle that man is the most precious of all possessions, will allow us to go forward more quickly and more harmoniously, and thus make impossible that caricature of society where all economic and political power is held in the hands of a few who regard the nation as a whole with scorn and contempt Picture Quote #1

In order to have a literature, a nation must live, not merely on the practical, but on the moral and spiritual plane as well, contributing through its national life to the development of some side of the universal spirit of man Picture Quote #1

Family farmers are victims of public policy that gives preference to feeding animals over feeding people. This has encouraged the cheap grain policy of this nation and has made the beef cartel the biggest hog at the trough Picture Quote #1

It has been our fate as a nation not to have ideologies but to be one Picture Quote #1

Democracy, to maintain itself, must repeatedly conquer every cell and corner of the nation. How many of our public institutions and private businesses, our schools, hospitals, and domestic hearths are in reality little fascist states where freedom of speech is more rigorously excluded than vermin? Picture Quote #1

The nation will continue to be a central pole of identification, even if more and more nations come to share common economic and political forms of organization Picture Quote #1

Diversity of opinion within the framework of loyalty to our freesociety is not only basic to a university but to the entire nation Picture Quote #1

Once to every person and nation come the moment to decide. In the conflict of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side Picture Quote #1

It would indeed be ironic if, in the name of national defence, we would sanction the subversion of one of those liberties which make the defence of our nation worthwhile Picture Quote #1

A poet is the creator of the nation around him, he gives them a world to see and has their souls in his hand to lead them to that world Picture Quote #1

Flee the country where a lone man holds all power: It is a nation of slaves Picture Quote #1

The notion of human right builds on our shared humanity. These rights are not derived from the citizenship of any country, or the membership of any nation, but are presumed to be claims or entitlements of every human being. They differ, therefore, from constitutionally created rights guaranteed for specific people Picture Quote #1

The nation which can only be saved by one man and wants to be saved that way deserves a whipping! Picture Quote #1

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to assume that their president, hostile to the principles that formed the nation and determined to act with malice toward its inhabitants by suppressing their rights and enabling its enemies to prosper in their attempts to destroy it, must be confronted, a rational response for the nation is to encumber itself no more with such a president and reject his authority and the acolytes who carry out his wishes Picture Quote #1

When misguided public opinion honors what is despicable and despises what is honorable, punishes virtue and rewards vice, encourages what is harmful and discourages what is useful, applauds falsehood and smothers truth under indifference or insult, a nation turns its back on progress and can be restored only by the terrible lessons of catastrophe Picture Quote #1

Government has coddled, accepted, and ignored white collar crime for too long. It is time the nation woke up and realized that it’s not the armed robbers or drug dealers who cause the most economic harm, it’s the white collar criminals living in the most expensive homes who have the most impressive resumes who harm us the most. They steal our pensions, bankrupt our companies, and destroy thousands of jobs, ruining countless lives Picture Quote #1

The aeroplane is an invention of the devil and will never play any part in such a serious business as the defence of the nation, my boy! Picture Quote #1

You need to understand something, you drink deeply from wells of freedom and liberty and opportunity that you did not dig. You eat lavishly from banquet tables prepared for you by your ancestors. You sit under the shade of trees that you did not plant or cultivate or care for. You have a choice in life, you can just sit back, getting fat, dumb, and happy, consuming all the blessings put before you, or it can metabolize inside of you, become fuel to get you into the fight, to make this democracy real, to make it true to its words that we can be a nation of liberty and justice for all Picture Quote #1

We dare not forget, lest we become a nation that does not only not know its roots but where it’s going Picture Quote #1

I have no doubt that the nation has suffered more from undue secrecy than from undue disclosure. The government takes good care of itself Picture Quote #1

Every foreign policy of every major nation involves reason, common sense, carrots and sticks. You can’t have all carrots and no sticks Picture Quote #1

I think that we ought to be a tolerant nation. I think we ought to be tolerant people. But we shouldn’t set up special categories for anybody. And I’m for the rights of everybody, including gays, but not any special rights Picture Quote #1

Twelve million illegal immigrants later, we are now living in a nation that is beset by people who are suicidal maniacs and want to kill countless innocent men, women and children around the world Picture Quote #1

Nothing so mystical. Human beings hunger for killing, that is all. It only takes a few politicians to stoke division, or a few demagogues encouraging hatred to set your kind upon one another. And then before you know it, you have a whole nation biting on its own tail, going round and round until there is nothing left but the snapping of teeth Picture Quote #1

The call of repentance is for the righteous and unrighteous, the godly and ungodly alike. If the righteous had been the lights they were called to be, the nation would never have fallen as it did Picture Quote #1
