Famous quotes containing the words permanent and/or state:

    “It was hard for an American to understand the contented acceptance by English men and women of permanent places in the lowest social rank.”
    —Virginia Crocheron Gildersleeve (1877–1965)

    “An alliance is like a chain. It is not made stronger by adding weak links to it. A great power like the United States gains no advantage and it loses prestige by offering, indeed peddling, its alliances to all and sundry. An alliance should be hard diplomatic currency, valuable and hard to get, and not inflationary paper from the mimeograph machine in the State Department.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
