Foreign Governments

Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or governments:

    “There is a close tie of affection between sovereigns and their subjects; and as chaste wives should have no eyes but for their husbands, so faithful liegemen should keep their regards at home and not look after foreign crowns. For my part I like not for my sheep to wear a stranger’s mark nor to dance after a foreigner’s whistle.”
    —Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    “Nations it may be have fashioned their Governments, but the Governments have paid them back in the same coin.”
