Famous quotes containing the words based and/or nationality:

    Tempered, gradual animation, the methodical restrain of sensations and energies, the equilibrium of sickness and health in each creature—this is nature’s essence, its immutable law, this is what it’s based on and what it adheres to.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

    If nationality is consent, the state is compulsion.
    Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
