First World Quotes

Of course, Third World leaders love you. By ascribing third world ills to First World sins, you absolve them of blame for their countries' failure to advance. John McCarthy

Mary Oliver
Athens is a great place for me. It is my second home. It's where I won my first world championship medal, it's where I set my world record. Maurice Greene
The Yankees won the pennant, we went on to the World Series, 41 years after that in the city of Toronto. The great city of Toronto, and all the provinces in Canada, everybody reached out and they were excited because we won the first World Series ever, across the border. Dave Winfield
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
Pauline Hanson quote: "We are regarded as a Third World country with First World..."

I could not have the honour of being a German soldier because of my imprisonment in the First World War. And in this world war the Fuehrer refuses to allow me to serve as a soldier. Fritz Sauckel
They say the first World Series is the one you remember most. No, no no. I guarantee you don't remember that one because the fantasy world you always dreamed about is suddenly real. Sparky Anderson
Tom Wolfe quote: "The sad truth was that the United States had not been reduced..."
The sad truth was that the United States had not been reduced to a smoking rubble by the first World War. Tom Wolfe
Ever since I served as an infantryman in the First World War I had a great dislike of people who themselves in ease and safety, issue exhortations to men in the front line. C. S. Lewis
