If your kids attend school and grades are up that will make $1,000 contributions to some 10,000 kids across the country, are challenging kids to learn foreign languages or challenging kids to get summer jobs or seek summer enrichment opportunities? Harold Ford
We don't think about pilgrimage in this country. We don't think about meditation. The idea of taking a six-week walk is totally foreign to most Americans. But it's probably exactly what we need. Emilio Estevez
The descendants of European immigrants do not govern the United States of America today. The foreign and domestic policies of the country are made by the Jews and their lackeys. Julius Streicher
If I were an American, as I am an Englishman, while a foreign troop was landed in my country, I never would lay down my arms never never never! William Pitt
Wendell L. Wilkie quote: "A true world outlook is incompatible with a foreign..."
A true world outlook is incompatible with a foreign imperialism, no matter how high-minded the governing country. Wendell L. Wilkie
Maybe we ought to consider a Golden Rule in foreign policy: Don't do to other nations what we don't want happening to us. We endlessly bomb these countries and then we wonder why they get upset with us? Ron Paul
