Famous quotes containing the word countries:

    It is a noble land that God has given us: a land that can feed and clothe the world; a land whose coastlines would enclose half the countries of Europe; a land set like a sentinel between the two imperial oceans of the globe.
    Albert J. Beveridge (1862–1927)

    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
