Famous quotes containing the word countries:

    “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)
