Famous quotes containing the word countries:

    “In countries where associations are free, secret societies are unknown. In America there are factions, but no conspiracies.”
    —Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    “It seems to me that the god that is commonly worshiped in civilized countries is not at all divine, though he bears a divine name, but is the overwhelming authority and respectability of mankind combined. Men reverence one another, not yet God.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
