Famous quotes containing the words countries and/or recognizing:

    In some things, we Americans leave to other countries the carrying out of the principle that stands at the head of our Declaration of Independence.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    And the shuttle never falters, but to draw an encouraging conclusion
    From this would be considerable, too odd. Why not just
    Breathe in with the courage of each day, recognizing yourself as one
    Who must with difficulty get down from high places?
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
