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)
