Famous quotes containing the word countries:
“I candidly confess that I have ever looked on Cuba as the most interesting addition which could ever be made to our system of States.

—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“I have never looked at foreign countries or gone there but with the purpose of getting to know the general human qualities that are spread all over the earth in very different forms, and then to find these qualities again in my own country and to recognize and to further them.”
