It’s alarming that military intervention in internal conflicts in foreign countries has become commonplace for the United States.

Our country must remain resilient and adaptable.

For nationalism, sometimes we need a counter point or a villain. However, you don’t need any such thing for patriotism. Patriotism is a pure love for your country and you don’t need a counterpoint.

The French, the Italians, the Germans, the Spanish, and the English have spent centuries killing each other.

You saw the exodus of many people on the business council, who resigned, who said those are not my personal values, those are not our corporate values, and those – we don’t believe – are the values of our country.

Consider in Washington, around the country today we are talking about balanced budgets, paying down our national debt, getting the economy going, defending ourselves, activist judges. Newt Gingrich did all those things when he was speaker. We got tax relief. We got balanced budgets. We got, you know, job creation. We paid down our national debt.

One of the Republicans’ major products is dream making. People are dying to get into this country… not out of it.

The country has sorted itself ideologically into the two political parties, and those partisan attachments have hardened in recent years. It will take an extraordinary event and act of leadership to break this partisan divide. I thought 9/11 might provide such an opportunity, but it was not seized

Panama’s a really wonderful country. There’s obviously the Panama Canal, which brings a lot of tourism, and a huge American influence; it’s just a mix of so many great things: African, Caribbean, Latin American Spanish, all kinds of influences there.

At present, the novels which we owe to English ladies form no small part of the literary glory of our country. No class of works is more honorably distinguished for fine observation, by grace, by delicate wit, by pure moral feeling.

There is no country in Europe which is so easy to over-run as Spain; there is no country which it is more difficult to conquer

No particular man is necessary to the state. We may depend on it that, if we provide the country with popular institutions, those institutions will provide it with great men

To that class we may leave it to refine the vernacular dialects of the country, to enrich those dialects with terms of science borrowed from the Western nomenclature, and to render them by degrees fit vehicles for conveying knowledge to the great mass of the population

I’m gonna be real everywhere I go, but I’m with my people, I’m connected to my roots – I’m in my country! I don’t need to live somewhere else.

Who are to be the objects of popular choice? Every citizen whose merit may recommend him to the esteem and confidence of his country.

Should ardent spirits be everywhere banished from the list of drinks, it will be a revolution not the least remarkable in this revolutionary age, and our country will have its full share in that as in other merits.

American citizens are instrumental in carrying on a traffic in enslaved Africans, equally in violation of the laws of humanity and in defiance of those of their own country. The same just and benevolent motives which produced interdiction in force against this criminal conduct will doubtless be felt by Congress in devising further means of suppressing the evil.

Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?

That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

We are free today substantially, but the day will come when our Republic will be an impossibility. It will be an impossibility because wealth will be concentrated in the hands of a few. A Republic cannot stand upon bayonets, and when the day comes when the wealth of the nation will be in the hands of a few, then we must rely upon the wisdom of the best elements in the country to readjust the laws of the nations to the changed conditions.

Our country, if it does justice to itself, will be the workshop of liberty to the civilized world.

Let me recommend the best medicine in the world: a long journey, at a mild season, through a pleasant country, in easy stages.

Equal laws protecting equal rights…the best guarantee of loyalty and love of country.

That man from Sulphur Creek had spoken the truth when telling how cold it sometimes got in the country. And he had laughed at him at the time! That showed one must not be too sure of things

I was blessed with a long career where I won gold medals for myself and my country. Nothing stands out as a disappointment.

Everyone called it losing Mother, but she wasn’t lost. She was gone, and no matter where I went – another town, another country, Fairyland, or Gnome Caverns – I wouldn’t find her.

A soldier, as Bernard Shaw has said, “ostensibly a heroic and patriotic defender of his country, is really an unfortunate man driven by destitution to offer himself as food for powder for the sake of regular rations, shelter, and clothing.

It is more a mentality than the actual places people live, as Jefferson and Hamilton would argue about – city versus country. For example, someone could have an empty place mentality yet be living in a condo in Boca Raton.

It is more a mentality than the actual places people live, as Jefferson and Hamilton would argue about – city versus country. For example, someone could have an empty place mentality yet be living in a condo in Boca Raton.

If Christmas is for families, what do you do when there are families scattered all over the country? I am pretty sure God wants to make sure I touch all the bases, even if I spend his actual birthday with Delta Airlines.

My only thought about Margaret Thatcher is the same one I had about Ronald Reagan. I hated a lot of what they did, but once in a while a country just needs a change.

If immigration reform passes, it’ll be a big victory for sanity – nobody really believes it’s healthy for a country to have millions and millions of undocumented noncitizens living in the shadows. But it’ll also be a sign that the Republican Party has gotten tired of letting the Tea Party push it around.

It took our entire history to actually change the rules of proper female behavior. But those rules were temporarily abandoned whenever the country needed women to do something they weren’t supposed to do.

It certainly was cold, was his thought. That man from Sulphur Creek had spoken the truth when telling how cold it sometimes got in the country. And he had laughed at him at the time! That showed one must not be too sure of things. There was no mistake about it, it was cold.

Cricket is a self-sustaining industry; but corporates need to realise that other sports don’t have that luxury. This is the time when they need to invest, and keep the faith. Every sport has the potential to create world champions. Imagine India as a country full of world champions. Why imagine? Let’s just make it happen.

I think country needs to have a sporting culture. I think if sports were taken as curriculum in school and are encouraged in right way like government of Maharashtra and Haryana have done given Marks for Sports and encouraging them with good jobs.

France is my home.

Films, fiction, can encompass a whole global vision on a particular subject with any story, whatever it is. You can play the story in whatever country with whatever language in whatever style you want to tell the story in.

I think the water dictates how food will taste in a country. In England the apples taste unlike apples grown in any other place. England is an island, there’s a lot of salt in the air and in the water. I think that has something to do with it.

Texas is a country in its own. It’s made up of half Mexico/half United States but completed mixed. I don’t mean to draw a generalization but it is a place, a territory, that’s really made up of all these encounters, you know?

Shamefully, Mexico isn’t a country that provides opportunities equally and democratically to everyone. Although there is a myth as well about that, because if you have something to tell, you will find a way to do it. You might get frustrated doing it but hey, that’s the country we live in. I want the chance to live and experience the country that I come from. I keep struggling and fighting against these very seductive offers that require that I live somewhere else. It is a shame that it has to be like that. But you are young. If you don’t have a family then there’s no excuse. Try, at least.

The country in which I live is not my native country, that lies elsewhere, and it must always be the center of my longings

The first ‘D’ is to dream: dream big – not for yourself, but for the country and for the world. The second ‘D’ is to discover: discover your full potential and the opportunities that surround you; and the third ‘D’ is to do. ‘Do’ means to act on your dreams and make best use of the opportunities you have discovered.

Nepal is a beautiful country with a lot of holy places. I also like the country because it’s close to the Himalayas. According to Hindu mythology, that’s the abode of Lord Shiva.

We have this powerful ideological basis to the country that I don’t think any other country in the world quite can brag about. It’s a very complicated nation, and it’s very fertile.

Undeniably, I’m a country singer; I’m a country songwriter. But I feel like I make country music for people who like country music and for people who don’t.

The more country that my music gets, the less it fits into the country world today. It’s almost like there needs to be two genres, modern country and country?

I’d rather be more of the hippie country chick – as in, instead of pointing a finger, just maybe saying, ‘We’re all screw-ups. We’re all in this kind of together. We’re all just figuring this out.

I’m really proud to be a woman representing country music.

I said the export benefit should go to all the farmers in the country through the mills spread across the country, in states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal. Now what happens? This benefit goes to those mills or export houses in Mumbai. Or in Chennai or in Bangalore.

Under my leadership the Conservative Party will come back together in the interests of the whole country

Obviously, given the objective that we have, what I would hope is that people would be able to see that actually we had reduced the numbers of people, the net number of people, coming into the country. People would, presumably, see that, but it’s difficult to say how.

I look forward to continuing the debate about Britain’s future – in Parliament and across the country

I support selecting as many candidates as early as possible for lots of reasons. First of all I think it is important that every voter – regardless of where they live in the country – should have the opportunity to vote Conservative should they wish

I am very grateful to my colleagues for their support. There is a big job before us: to unite our party and the country, to negotiate the best possible deal as we leave the EU, and to make Britain work for everyone

My pitch is very simple. I’m Theresa May and I think I’m the best person to be prime minister of this country

India can’t be looked at as a country; it’s more of a continent.

I think the Indian model of respecting the uniqueness of each religion and, of every state is what makes the country great.

In a country like India, we don’t want to put everyone in one big mixture. We have a different language, culture and cuisine for each region, even though we are united in the larger context. We are more like a fruit salad, where each ingredient has its own specialty, each fruit its distinct flavor, and together, the salad makes a tasty dish, without losing the individuality of each constituent.

The dream of every kid is to play for the country, and I am no different.

I obviously respect the opportunity I have got to play for the country.

At the highest level, you are playing the best from an opposing country, so the margin of error is very little.

I take pride in representing my country and will always give my all for the team.

Country music was a part of my life. Now it isn’t. We had a good relationship, really, but we wanted each other at arm’s length. The people in Nashville didn’t want to be responsible for my looks or my actions. But they sure did like the listeners I brought.

Whether Barack Obama is simply incompetent as president or has some hidden agenda to undermine this country, at home and abroad, he has nearly everything he needs to ruin America, including a fool for a vice president

I grew up in cattle country-that’s why I became a vegetarian. Meat stinks, for the animals, the environment, and your health.

I’m also alternative because of Canada – there’s something romantic about being Canadian. We’re a relatively unpopulated, somewhat civilized, and clean and resourceful country. I always push the fact that I’m Canadian.

A friend from India told me that a countryman of his said: “I want to go to America. I want to see a country where poor people are fat

Art isn’t held with the same high regard as it is after success. In any country, in any language, you’re a loser if you’re making music until you prove otherwise.

It takes time and experience to absorb new technologies, so technologically backward producers need a period of protection from international competition during this period of learning. Such protection is costly, because the country is giving up the chance to import better and cheaper products. However, it is a price that has to be paid if it wants to develop advanced industries.

Above a certain level of income, the relative value of material consumption vis-a-vis leisure time is diminished, so earning a higher income at the cost of working longer hours may reduce the quality of your life. More importantly, the fact that the citizens of a country work longer than others in comparable countries does not necessarily mean that they like working longer hours. They may be compelled to work long hours, even if they actually want to take longer holidays.

When my country, into which I had just set my foot, was set on fire about my ears, it was time to stir. It was time for every man to stir

No country can be called free which is governed by an absolute power; and it matters not whether it be an absolute royal power or an absolute legislative power, as the consequences will be the same to the people

We fight not to enslave, but to set a country free, and to make room upon the earth for honest men to live in

As someone from a developing country, I have a problem with rich countries thinking they can tell us anything, simply because they are giving money.

The higher education system in these countries (US, Korea etc) has become like a theatre in which some people decided to stand to get a better view, promoting the others behind them to stand. Once enough people stand, everyone has to stand, which means no one is getting a better view, while everyone has become more uncomfortable.

Rich countries have ‘kicked away the ladder’ by forcing free-market, free-trade policies on poor countries. Already established countries do not want more competitors emerging through the nationalistic policies they themselves successfully used in the past.

There is a lure in power. It can get into a man’s blood just as gambling and lust for money have been known to do. This is a Republic. The greatest in the history of the world. I want this country to continue as a Republic.

So black people all across this country are uniting. They must unite, and they must organize themselves.

See, justice is a joke in this country, and it stinks of its hypocrisy.

Black people must address itself to the causes of poverty. That’s oppression in this country.

But black people fall for that same argument, and they go around talking about law breakers. We did not make the laws in this country. We are neither morally nor legally confined to those laws. Those laws that keep them up, keep us down.

In terms of the revolution, I believe that the revolution will be a revolution of dispossessed people in this country: that’s the Mexican American, the Puerto Rican American, the American Indian, and black people.

This is a very unforgiving country when you show this country its warts, when you hold the mirror up. If you happen not to share their beliefs, they’ll kill you.

It’s not. This was a poor example of democracy internationally, but also within our own country.

The duty of a patriot is to protect his country from its government

My country is wherever liberty lives

Independence is my happiness, and I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good

These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in the crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman

The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion

Teach me to go to the country beyond words and beyond names.

When I pray for peace, I pray not only that the enemies of my own country may cease to want war, but above all that my country will cease to do the things that make war inevitable.

There is only a sparse handful of exceedingly rich countries that could begin to afford to maintain the bulimically wasteful expense of an American democracy

New York is like a divorcée looking for a richer second country

Whenever you hear a man speak of his love for his country, it is a sign that he expects to be paid for it.

What we need is somebody who can coalesce the energies in this country, which are now both black and white, into another party which can respond to the needs of the people

If the American Negro, the American black man, is going to become a free person in this country, the people of this country have to give up something. If they don’t give it up, it will be taken from them.

The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.

Writers are extremely important people in a country, whether or not the country knows it.

To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time

In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

They clearly saw their town as the one exception in an area of the country once described as having enough ignorance to support not simply a four-year university but an eight-year one.

Our country must be strong enough to solve problems, and that means we must learn how to work together again.

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.

90% of the work in this country is done by people who don’t feel good”.

In this country we have no place for hyphenated Americans.

I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.god

Our country was founded by a bunch of dudes who woke up every morning asking their wives, “M’lady, have you seen my wig?

In this country we have no place for hyphenated Americans.

The people of the United States are one of the people I most admire in the world. The only thing I don’t understand is why a country that manages to do so well cannot do better in choosing its president.

The wealth of a country is its working people.

The most important thing Paris gave me was a perspective on Latin America. It taught me the differences between Latin America and Europe and among the Latin American countries themselves through the Latins I met there.

When you come back to a country that you’ve left, you’re in a very peculiar situation because, in a way, you don’t belong to that country any more, even though when I’m in America I feel I don’t belong there either.

We are trying to construct a more inclusive society. We are going to make a country in which no one is left out.

Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country

This country’s been around for a couple of hundred years, and we think we’re hot shit. We don’t even realize that other countries have thousands of years of history and culture, and they’re proud of it. And when we deal on an international level, you know, with foreign policy and stuff like that, and we try and go in as a big American, strong country and all that stuff, they must laugh up their sleeves at us because we are nothing. We are culturally nothing. We mean nothing. We’re only interested in the bottom line.

You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer

Our economy is a hundred times better, than the average African economy. Outside South Africa, what country is [as good as] Zimbabwe?.. What is lacking now are goods on the shelves – that is all.

The land is ours. It’s not European and we have taken it, we have given it to the rightful people… Those of white extraction who happen to be in the country and are farming are welcome to do so, but they must do so on the basis of equality.

Dont fight even over girlfriends. The country is full of beautiful women. If you cant get one, come to Mugabe for assistance.

If President Barack Obama wants me to allow marriage for same-sex couples in my country (Zimbabwe), he must come here so that I marry him first.

My own judgment of how the world is gonna end is that there will be a country led by a madman that will build a nuclear bomb with so much force, so much power, that it will be dropped somewhere on the face of this earth and that the earth will lose it’s jplace

Going to another country doesn’t make any difference. I’ve tried all that. You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another. There’s nothing to that.

They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.

I was born in Somalia, which is in East Africa. My parents started with nothing: poor, poor, poor. They eloped, which was unheard of in my country, when my father was 17 and my mother was 14.

What every man who loves his country hopes for in his inmost heart: the suppression of half his compatriots.

We inhabit a language rather than a country.

What can be said, lacks reality. Only what fails to make its way into words exists and counts.

I feel completely detached from any country, any group. I am a metaphysically displaced person

Whither shall I flee? To no country on earth that I know of where there is as much liberty as yet remains to me even in Virginia.

We must look to the rising generation for the restoration of the country.

I tremble for my country when I hear of confidence expressed in me. I know too well my weakness, that our only hope is in God.

I believe it to be the duty of everyone to unite in the restoration of the country and the reestablishment of peace and harmony.

Give me engines, steering wheels to play with, and nice country roads, and I’m happy.

Remember, we are all one country now. Dismiss from your mind all sectional feeling, and bring them up to be Americans.

Make good scouts of yourselves, become good rifle shots so that if it becomes necessary that you defend your families and your country that you can do it.

No one can pass through life, any more than he can pass through a bit of country, without leaving tracks behind, and those tracks may often be helpful to those coming after him in finding their way.

I don’t belong to any country clubs. I don’t have this big circle of friends. Where I make my friends is where I work.

We can’t stop here, this is bat country!

That’s what we want to do here at Johnson Space Center. I think what we have always brought to NASA and brought to the country is trying to push the boundaries, trying to go to the next level.

I saw people celebrating all over the country, Kenya… will be united and in future Kenya will be a running nation.

Did I write it so as not to go mad or, on the contrary, to go mad in order to understand the nature of madness?

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

This will never be a civilized country until we expend more money for books than we do for chewing gum.

To make us love our country, our country ought to be lovely.

The chicken is the country’s, but the city eats it.

Nothing is more priceless and more worthy of preservation than the rich array of animal life with which our country has been blessed. It is a many-faceted treasure, of value to scholars, scientists, and nature lovers alike, and it forms a vital part of the heritage we all share as Americans.

Nothing would please the Kremlin more than to have the people of this country choose a second rate president.

In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.

In terms of the legal matter of creating a contract between two people that’s called marriage, and allowing them to live together with the protection of law, it seems to me is the way we should be moving in this country.

We need to understand that we as citizens and as a government in any community throughout this country have no more important obligation than to educate those who are going to replace us.

If you know how to read, you have a complete education about life, then you know how to vote within a democracy. But if you don’t know how to read, you don’t know how to decide. That’s the great thing about our country – we’re a democracy of readers, and we should keep it that way.

But just as they did in Philadelphia when they were writing the constitution, sooner or later, you’ve got to compromise. You’ve got to start making the compromises that arrive at a consensus and move the country forward.

A war is a horrible thing, but it’s also a unifier of countries.

Hip-hop and country aren’t too far different: They got shiny suits and the boots and the guitars with their names on it. I was infatuated with that type of stuff.

But that’s the glory of foreign travel, as far as I am concerned. I don’t want to know what people are talking about. I can’t think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can’t read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can’t even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.

In New York, my dad raised me to listen to everything like hip-hop, rock and country music. When I moved to Dallas, I started listening to whatever I wanted to listen to.

I never did anything alone. Whatever was accomplished in this country was accomplished collectively.

Above all, this country is our own. Nobody has to get up in the morning and worry what his neighbors think of him. Being a Jew is no problem here.
