Famous quotes containing the words united states, united and/or states:

    “The popular colleges of the United States are turning out more educated people with less originality and fewer geniuses than any other country.”
    —Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)

    “An alliance is like a chain. It is not made stronger by adding weak links to it. A great power like the United States gains no advantage and it loses prestige by offering, indeed peddling, its alliances to all and sundry. An alliance should be hard diplomatic currency, valuable and hard to get, and not inflationary paper from the mimeograph machine in the State Department.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    “Canadians look down on the United States and consider it Hell. They are right to do so. Canada is to the United States what, in Dante’s scheme, Limbo is to Hell.”
    —Irving Layton (b. 1912)
