Famous quotes containing the word nations:

    “The soldier takes pride in saluting his Captain,
    The devotee proffers a knee to his Lord,
    Some back a mare thrown from a thoroughbred,
    Troy backed its Helen, Troy died and adored;
    Great nations blossom above,
    A slave bows down to a slave.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Great nations write their autobiographies in three manuscripts--the book of their deeds, the book of their words, and the book of their art.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    “We are asking the nations of Europe between whom rivers of blood have flowed to forget the feuds of a thousand years.”
    —Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
