| Quote:The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.[George Patton] Quote:He loves but little who can say and count in words how much he loves.[Dante Alighieri] Quote:My mental hands were empty, and I felt I must do something as a counterirritant or antibody to my hysterical alarm at getting married at the age of 43.[Ian Fleming] Quote:America is the only country ever founded on a creed.[GK Chesterton] Quote:Thus the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet.[Dave Barry] Quote:We should enact an 'e' tax. Government agents would roam the country looking for stores whose names contained any word that ended in an unnecessary 'e,' such as 'shoppe' or 'olde,' and the owners of these stores would be taxed at a flat rate of $50,000 per year per 'e.' We should also consider an additional $50,000 'ye' tax, so that the owner of a store called 'Ye Olde Shoppe' would have to fork over $150,000 a year. In extreme cases, such as 'Ye Olde Barne Shoppe,' the owner would simply be taken outside and shot.[Dave Barry] Quote:I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.[Stephen Hawking] Quote:We live in deeds, not years: In thoughts not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs.

You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let me label you as they may.[Mark Twain] Quote:India has 2,000,000 gods, and worships them all. In religion, other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire.[Mark Twain] Quote:It is by the goodness of God that, in this country, we have three benefits: freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and the wisdom never to use either.[Mark Twain] Quote:It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Our country offers the most wonderful example of democratic government on a giant scale that the world has ever seen; and the peoples of the world are watching to see whether we succeed or fail.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:In this country we have no place for hyphenated Americans.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:This country was built on rape, slavery, murder, degradation and affiliation with crime.[Mike Tyson] Quote:Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:No country can act wisely simultaneously in every part of the globe at every moment of time.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.[Douglas Adams] Quote:How can you be expected to govern a country that has 246 kinds of cheese?[Charles de Gaulle] Quote:Too bad the only people who know how to run the country are busy driving cabs and cutting hair.[George Burns] Quote:The United States stands at the pinnacle of world power. This is a solemn moment for the American democracy. For with primacy in power is joined an awe-inspiring accountability for the future.[Winston Churchill] Quote:We all wish to be judged by our peers, by the men 'after our own heart.' Only they really know our mind and only they judge it by standards we fully acknowledge. Theirs is the praise we really covet and the blame we really dread. The little pockets of early Chrstians survived because they cared exclusively for the love of 'the bretheren' and stopped their ears to the opinion of the Pagan society around them. But a circle of criminals, cranks, or perverts survives in just the same way; by becoming deaf to the opinion of the outer world, by discounting it as the chatter of outsiders who 'don't understand,' of the 'conventional,' the 'bourgeois,' the 'Establishment,' of prigs, prudes, and humbugs.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Of course the people dont want war...that is understood. But voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.[Hermann Goering] Quote:'My country, right or wrong' is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying 'My mother, drunk or sober.'[GK Chesterton] Quote:There is an immense, painful longing for a broader, more flexible, fuller, more coherent, more comprehensive account of what we human beings are, who we are, and what this life is for.[Saul Bellow] Quote:California is like an artificial limb the rest of the country doesn't really need. You can quote me on that.[Saul Bellow] Quote:In any fairly large and talkative community such as a university there is always the danger that those who think alike should gravitate together where they will henceforth encounter opposition only in the emasculated form of rumour that the outsiders say thus and thus. The absent are easily refuted, complacent dogmatism thrives, and differences of opinion are embittered by the group hostility. Each group hears not the best, but the worst, that the other group can say.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I went out to the country so i could examine the simple things in life.[Henry Thoreau] Quote:Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.[Winston Churchill] Quote:A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue.[Daniel Webster] Quote:Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing...after they have exhausted all other possibilities.[Winston Churchill] Quote:The prosperity of a country can be seen simply in how it treats its old people.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:Work is something you can count on, a trusted, lifelong friend who never deserts you.[Margaret Bourke-White] Quote:Some of your countrymen were unable to distinguish between their native dislike for war and the stainless patriotism of those who suffered its scars. But there has been a rethinking and now we can say to you, and say as a nation, thank you for your courage.[Ronald Reagan] Quote:When angry, count ten before you speak; if very angry, a hundred.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:How can one conceive of a one-party system in a country that has over 200 varieties of cheeses?[Charles de Gaulle] Quote:It is not a matter of what is true that counts, but a matter of what is perceived to be true.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:America is the first country to have gone from barbarism to decadence without the usual intervening period of civilization.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:Talk of imminent threat to our national security through the application of external force is pure nonsense. Indeed it is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.[Douglas MacArthur] Quote:If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true?I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents.It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The thing we all have to understand to put these last two years in focus, is that liberals in this country care more about whether European leaders like us than they do about whether terrorists are killing us.[Rush Limbaugh] Quote:The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.Workers of all countries...unite![Frederick Engels] Quote:The people who cast the votes don?t decide an election, the people who count the votes do.[Joseph Stalin] Quote:When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.[Winston Churchill] Quote:Facts are facts and will not disappear on account of your likes. [Jawaharlal Nehru] Quote:Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. [Douglas Adams] Quote:And so, my fellow americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. [John F. Kennedy] Quote:Gratitude is born in hearts that take time to count up past mercies. [Cicero] Quote:England and America are two countries separated by a common language. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:England and America are two countries separated by a common language. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:England and America are two countries separated by a common language. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.

[Joseph Addison] Quote:America's one of the finest countries anyone ever stole. [Frank Zappa] Quote:We have found a strange footprint on the shores of the unknown. We have devised profound theories, one after another, to account for its origins. At last, we have succeeded in reconstructing the creature that made the footprint. And lo! It is our own. [Sir Arthur Eddington] Quote:Genius is of no country. [Charles Churchill] Quote:You can cover a great deal of country in books. [Bell Hooks] Quote:There's no business like show business, but there are several businesses like accounting.

[H. L. Mencken] Quote:"My country, right or wrong," is a thing that no patriot would think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying, "My mother, drunk or sober." [G. K. Chesterton] Quote:In a country as big as the United States, you can find fifty examples of anything. [John Updike] Quote:It is not unseemly for a man to die fighting in defense of his country.
