Famous quotes containing the words commonwealth and/or countries:
“By this unprincipled facility of changing the state as often, and as much, and in as many ways as there are floating fancies or fashions, the whole chain and continuity of the commonwealth would be broken.

“The man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife.”
