Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:

    The heroes of the world community are not those who withdraw when difficulties ensue, not those who can envision neither the prospect of success nor the consequence of failure—but those who stand the heat of battle, the fight for world peace through the United Nations.
    Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)

    ...the kingdom of God depends not on talk but on power.
    Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 4:20.
