United Nations Economic

Famous quotes containing the words united, nations and/or economic:

“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)

“There have been some nations who could do nothing but construct tombs, and these are the only traces which they have left. They are the heathen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Freedom is the by-product of economic surplus.”
—Aneurin Bevan (1897–1960)
