National Emergency

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or emergency:

“The Federated Republic of Europe—the United States of Europe—that is what must be. National autonomy no longer suffices. Economic evolution demands the abolition of national frontiers. If Europe is to remain split into national groups, then Imperialism will recommence its work. Only a Federated Republic of Europe can give peace to the world.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

“In this country, you never pull the emergency brake, even when there is an emergency. It is imperative that the trains run on schedule.”
