Famous quotes containing the words political and/or division:

    “Although military, economic and political strength certainly favors the more powerful side, the matter of simple justice is a counterbalancing factor.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    “Imperialism is capitalism at that stage of development at which the dominance of monopolies and finance capitalism is established; in which the export of capital has acquired pronounced importance; in which the division of the world among the international trusts has begun, in which the division of all territories of the globe among the biggest capitalist powers has been completed.”
    —Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
