Nations

Famous quotes containing the word nations:

“Great nations write their autobiographies in three manuscripts--the book of their deeds, the book of their words, and the book of their art.”

“And who in time knowes whither we may vent
The treasure of our tongue, to what strange shores
This gaine of our best glorie shal be sent,
T’inrich unknowing Nations with our stores?
What worlds in th’yet unformed Occident
May come refin’d with th’accents that are ours?”
