Famous quotes containing the words competing and/or countries:

    “The first wrote, Wine is the strongest. The second wrote, The king is strongest. The third wrote, Women are strongest: but above all things Truth beareth away the victory.”
    —Apocrypha. 1 Esdras, 3:10-12.

    Referring to “three young men” of the bodyguard of Darius, king of the Persians, competing for his favor.

    “The contention that a standing army and navy is the best security of peace is about as logical as the claim that the most peaceful citizen is he who goes about heavily armed. The experience of every-day life fully proves that the armed individual is invariably anxious to try his strength. The same is historically true of governments. Really peaceful countries do not waste life and energy in war preparations, with the result that peace is maintained.”
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
