Politics of The People's Republic of China - State Leaders

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or leaders:

“Our ancestors were savages. The story of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf is not a meaningless fable. The founders of every state which has risen to eminence have drawn their nourishment and vigor from a similar wild source. It was because the children of the Empire were not suckled by the wolf that they were conquered and displaced by the children of the northern forests who were.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.”
—Abba Eban (b. 1915)
