Famous quotes containing the word country:
“I care not for these ladies,
That must be wooed and prayed;
Give me kind Amaryllis,
The wanton country maid.
Nature art disdaineth;
Her beauty is her own.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
“A steady patriot of the world alone,
The friend of every country but his own.”
—George Canning (1770–1827)
