Famous quotes containing the words separate, customs and/or territory:

    The lion shall never lie down with the lamb. The lion eternally shall devour the lamb, the lamb eternally shall be devoured. Man knows the great consummation in the flesh, the sensual ecstasy, and that is eternal. Also the spiritual ecstasy of unanimity, that is eternal. But the two are separate and never to be confused.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    If someone were to put a proposition before men bidding them choose, after examination, the best customs in the world, each nation would certainly select its own.
    Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)

    Size is not grandeur, and territory does not make a nation.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
