I have been in meetings where a head of state will say, ‚I like your tie,‘ to a man… or, ‚I like your country because the weather’s good,‘ or whatever. So for me, the pins in some ways were openers.

In this country, it doesn’t make any difference where you were born. It doesn’t make any difference who your parents were. It doesn’t make any difference if, like me, you couldn’t even speak English until you were in your twenties.

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

Upon the education of the people of this country the fate of this country depends.

If you don’t know how great this country is, I know someone who does; Russia.

The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrongdoer.

The weather and my mood have little connection. I have my foggy and my fine days within me; my prosperity or misfortune has little to do with the matter.

And they that rule in England, in stately conclaves met, alas, alas for England they have no graves as yet.

Predicting rain doesn’t count. Building arks does.

When I was a young kid, I did not even dream about playing for my country. It was such a farfetched thing to play for India.

I saw what happened when a dictator was allowed to take over a piece of a country and the country went down the tubes. And I saw the opposite during the war when America joined the fight.

The truth is that the vast majority of Americans are good, fair, and just, and they want their country to reflect those ideals.

I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.

Every country must be absolutely free to adopt the type of economic, political and social system that it considers convenient.

Our country is now geared to an arms economy bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and an incessant propaganda of fear.

I enjoy wearing pins, and nobody tells me to do it.

In many respects, the United States is a great country. Freedom of speech is protected more than in any other country. It is also a very free society.

Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.

There is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

Lightning is something which, again, we would rather avoid.

It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person. So violence isn’t merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper.

If you are in the country, you should notice landmarks – that is, objects which help you to find your way or prevent you getting lost, such as distant hills, church towers, and nearer objects, such as peculiar buildings, trees, gates, rocks, etc.

Long stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chilling the lap of very May; but at length the season of summer does come.

You can’t get too much winter in the winter.

Official dignity tends to increase in inverse ratio to the importance of the country in which the office is held.

Happy the country that lives on nothing but its wits; cursed be the one that thinks it can get rich by planting or digging or drilling for wealth.

As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what’s happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don’t seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.

There is no surer sign of decay in a country than to see the rites of religion held in contempt.

We pay attention to every demographic in every country, so we’re going to focus on building things that teens are going to like, and we’re also going to focus on building things that other folks are going to like.

I’m leaving because the weather is too good. I hate London when it’s not raining.

I’ve lived in good climate, and it bores the hell out of me. I like weather rather than climate.

I would like to be remembered as a guy who had a set of priorities, and was willing to live by those priorities. In terms of accomplishments, my biggest accomplishment is that I kept the country safe amidst a real danger.

No other country in the world does what we do. On every issue, the world turns to us, not simply because of the size of our economy or our military might – but because of the ideals we stand for, and the burdens we bear to advance them.

Eventually you won’t think of ‚the Internet business.‘ You’ll think of it more like news, weather, sports, but even that taxonomy isn’t clear.

I didn’t consider myself a fashion designer at all at the time of punk. I was just using fashion as a way to express my resistance and to be rebellious. I came from the country, and by the time I got to London, I considered myself to be very stupid. It was my ambition to understand the world I live in.

A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards.

I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we’ve struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We’ve made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.

Thaw with her gentle persuasion is more powerful than Thor with his hammer. The one melts, the other breaks into pieces.

We have to do more than just elect a new President if we truly want to change this country.

All the world lies warm in one heart, yet the Sierra seems to get more light than other mountains. The weather is mostly sunshine embellished with magnificent storms, and nearly everything shines from base to summit – the rocks, streams, lakes, glaciers, irised falls, and the forests of silver fir and silver pine.

The Bermuda Triangle got tired of warm weather. It moved to Alaska. Now Santa Claus is missing.

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.

Things in our country run in spite of government, not by aid of it.

The spirit of this country is totally adverse to a large military force.

I have no desire to crow over anybody or to see anybody eating crow, figuratively or otherwise. We should all get together and make a country in which everybody can eat turkey whenever he pleases.

Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it’s very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.

I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.

I am surprised and embarrassed to be a part of the first American generation to leave the country in far worse shape than it was when we first came into it.

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.

The American people are bigger than any president. I suppose I have faith in my country and in what it is founded on and the values we hold dear.

I would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we – we own this country. We – we own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours.

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.

If God is just, I tremble for my country.

I am confident that when the facts and policies have been examined, when the record of performances have been reviewed, Barack Obama and Joe Biden will once again be elected to lead our beloved country to a better future.

The army is the true nobility of our country.

I am happy and proud to play for my country and my club Mohun Bagan.

When we go out to the country and just sit there, what we’re really doing is just switching off various kinds of alertness that we don’t have to use. When we do that, we are stopping being defensive. We are no longer shutting ourselves off from different types of experiences, we are welcoming them in.

I aspire my country eventually has a league where all players play 50 games.

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

It is the flash which appears, the thunderbolt will follow.

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.
