Lost Nation

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or nation:

    The advantage of time and place in all practical actions is half a victory; which being lost is irrecoverable.
    Francis, Sir Drake (1540–1596)

    It was a time of madness, the sort of mad-hysteria that always presages war. There seems to be nothing left but war—when any population in any sort of a nation gets violently angry, civilization falls down and religion forsakes its hold on the consciences of human kind in such times of public madness.
    Rebecca Latimer Felton (1835–1930)
