Famous quotes containing the words united states, united, states, ambassador and/or republic:

    “An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “Before abstraction everything is one, but one like chaos; after abstraction everything is united again, but this union is a free binding of autonomous, self-determined beings. Out of a mob a society has developed, chaos has been transformed into a manifold world.”
    —Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

    “The moment a mere numerical superiority by either states or voters in this country proceeds to ignore the needs and desires of the minority, and for their own selfish purpose or advancement, hamper or oppress that minority, or debar them in any way from equal privileges and equal rights—that moment will mark the failure of our constitutional system.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “An Ambassador is an honest man sent to lie abroad for the good of his country.”
    —Sir Henry Wotton (1568–1639)

    “Universal empire is the prerogative of a writer. His concerns are with all mankind, and though he cannot command their obedience, he can assign them their duty. The Republic of Letters is more ancient than monarchy, and of far higher character in the world than the vassal court of Britain.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
