Famous quotes containing the words commonwealth and/or countries:
“This little world, this little state, this little commonwealth of our own....”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Other countries drink to get drunk, and this is accepted by everyone; in France, drunkenness is a consequence, never an intention. A drink is felt as the spinning out of a pleasure, not as the necessary cause of an effect which is sought: wine is not only a philtre, it is also the leisurely act of drinking.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
