Famous quotes containing the word nations:

    “Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other’s habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets.... The rich and the poor.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    “Firm in our beliefs without dismay,
    In any game the nations want to play.
    A golden age of poetry and power
    Of which this noonday’s the beginning hour.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “In every particular state of the world, those nations which are strongest tend to prevail over the others; and in certain marked peculiarities the strongest tend to be the best.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
