Famous quotes containing the words country and/or comparison:
“Always the heart and the soul of our country will be the heart and the soul of the common man; the men and the women who never have ceased to believe in democracy. Who never have ceased to love their families, their home, and their country.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Away with the cant of “Measures, not men!”Mthe idle supposition that it is the harness and not the horses that draw the chariot along. No, Sir, if the comparison must be made, if the distinction must be taken, men are everything, measures comparatively nothing.”
—George Canning (1770–1827)
