Famous quotes containing the words national, renewal and/or alliance:
“There is no national science just as there is no national multiplication table; anything that is national is not scientific.”

“There must be no cessation
Of motion, or of the noise of motion,
The renewal of noise
And manifold continuation....”

“In short, no association or alliance can be happy or stable without me. People can’t long tolerate a ruler, nor can a master his servant, a maid her mistress, a teacher his pupil, a friend his friend nor a wife her husband, a landlord his tenant, a soldier his comrade nor a party-goer his companion, unless they sometimes have illusions about each other, make use of flattery, and have the sense to turn a blind eye and sweeten life for themselves with the honey of folly.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
