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.

I am so tired of fear. And I don’t want my girls to live in a country, in a world, based on fear.

I just hate meetings. Though it’s true that once you’ve made a lot of money, people around you might be full of ideas about ways to make lots more money and might be disappointed that you don’t want to seize every opportunity to do so.

For the mission’s sake, for our country’s sake, and the sake of the men who carried the Division’s colors in past battles – carry out your mission and keep your honor clean.

America is not just a country, it’s an idea, and real Americans are getting busy.

You can’t generalise about an entire country, but I like the energy of British men.

I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm – not all – that religion used to fill.

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

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

Personally yes I want our country to have one league. When it’s going to be one league, which we all are hearing, it has to be abiding by AFC rules.

If you think it’s going to rain, it will.

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.

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

I didn’t leave bodybuilding until I felt that I had gone as far as I could go. It will be the same with my film career. When I feel the time is right, I will then consider public service. I feel that the highest honor comes from serving people and your country.

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.

My grandmother took me to church on Sunday all day long, every Sunday into the night. Then Monday evening was the missionary meeting. Tuesday evening was usher board meeting. Wednesday evening was prayer meeting. Thursday evening was visit the sick. Friday evening was choir practice. I mean, and at all those gatherings, we sang.

No grand idea was ever born in a conference, but a lot of foolish ideas have died there.

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.

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

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.

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

For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction.

Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get.

No country can act wisely simultaneously in every part of the globe at every moment of time.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Prosperous farmers mean more employment, more prosperity for the workers and the business men of every industrial area in the whole country.

When I’m in meetings until 5am and then have to get up two hours later for filming, sometimes I ask myself ‚why?‘

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.

Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family.

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.

America is the greatest country in the world.

The Bay of Bengal is hit frequently by cyclones. The months of November and May, in particular, are dangerous in this regard.

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

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.

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.

What pity is it That we can die, but once to serve our country.

I have always loved blizzards, if only because of the driving experience – which is definitely an acquired taste.

I have no other view than to promote the public good, and am unambitious of honors not founded in the approbation of my Country.

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

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

Canada is a balloon-puncturing country. You are not really allowed to be an icon unless you also make an idiot of yourself.

Switzerland is a country where very few things begin, but many things end.

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.

He had a massive stroke. He died with his tie on. Do you think that could be our generation’s equivalent of that old saying about dying with your boots on?

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

London is too full of fogs and serious people. Whether the fogs produce the serious people, or whether the serious people produce the fogs, I don’t know.

When a country has the skill and self-confidence to take action against its biggest problems, it makes outsiders eager to be a part of it.

Patriots always talk of dying for their country and never of killing for their country.

That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings.

I love being a part of the country-music community.

Nobody’s ever said that pins are a tool of diplomacy.

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

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.

The strength and power of a country depends absolutely on the quantity of good men and women in it.

Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

My government is working for the common man. Our priority is the poor of the country. We want good governance through a dynamic and seamless government.
