National Quotes (page 71)

Here then we are first to consider a book, presented to us by a barbarous and ignorant people, written in an age when they were still more barbarous, and in all probability long after the facts which it relates, corroborated by no concurring testimony, and resembling those fabulous accounts, which every nation gives of its origin. David Hume
Ayn Rand quote: "The nation which once held the creed that greatness is..."
The nation which once held the creed that greatness is achieved by production, is now told that it is achieved by squalor. Ayn Rand
I could show fight on natural selection having done and doing more for the progress of civilization than you seem inclined to admit. Remember what risk the nations of Europe ran, not so many centuries ago of being overwhelmed by the Turks, and how ridiculous such an idea now is! The more civilised so-called Caucasian races have beaten the Turkish hollow in the struggle for existence. Looking to the world at no very distant date, what an endless number of the lower races will have been... Charles Darwin
Heads of warring nations could learn a lot about how to achieve lasting peace by watching dogs and cats who live in the same house. Bill Bennett
Theodore Roosevelt quote: "It is true of the Nation, as of the individual, that the..."
It is true of the Nation, as of the individual, that the greatest doer must also be a great dreamer. Theodore Roosevelt
All day long this man would toil thus, his whole being centered upon the purpose of making twenty-three instead of twenty-two and a half cents an hour; and then his product would be reckoned up by the census taker, and jubilant captains of industry would boast of it in their banquet halls, telling how our workers are nearly twice as efficient as those of any other country. If we are the greatest nation the sun ever shone upon, it would seem to be mainly because we have been able to goad our... Upton Sinclair
In the words of a very famous dead person, 'A nation that does not know its history is doomed to do poorly on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Dave Barry
For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies. So let us mark this day with remebrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. Barack Obama
Rudyard Kipling quote: "You perceive, do you not, that our national fairy tales..."
You perceive, do you not, that our national fairy tales reflect the inmost desires of the Briton and the Gaul? Rudyard Kipling
War...strengthened the position of the armament industries...to a point...that these industries dominated the economies and therefore the governments of all the participating nations...war barbarised and lowered the already very low level of accepted conduct. Doris Lessing
There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years -- block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand. Barack Obama
Martin Luther King jr. quote: "If we do an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, we will be..."
If we do an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, we will be a blind and toothless nation. Martin Luther King jr.
In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted, for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things -- some celebrated, but more often men and women obscure in their labor -- who have carried us up the long, rugged... Barack Obama
Susan B. Anthony quote: "the women of this nation in 1876, have greater cause for..."
...the women of this nation in 1876, have greater cause for discontent, rebellion and revolution than the men of 1776. Susan B. Anthony
He dragged me back - just in time. A tree had crashed down on to the side walk, just missing us. Poirot stared at it, pale and upset. "It was a near thing that! But clumsy, all the same - for I had no suspicion - at least hardly any suspicion. Yes, but for my quick eyes, the eyes of a cat, Hercule Poirot might now be crushed out of existence - a terrible calamity for the world. And you, too, mon ami - though that would not be such a national catastrophe." "Thank you," I said coldly. Agatha Christie
