Famous quotes containing the word switzerland:

    In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed—they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock!
    Orson Welles (1915–84)

    I look upon Switzerland as an inferior sort of Scotland.
    Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
