Famous quotes containing the word country:

    “The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. The millions who are in want will not stand idly by silently forever while the things to satisfy their needs are within easy reach.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “True patriots we; for be it understood
    We left our country for our country’s good.”
    —Henry Carter (d. 1806)
