Shared Country

Famous quotes containing the words shared and/or country:

    Let us pardon him his hope of a vain apocalypse, and of a second coming in great triumph upon the clouds of heaven. Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his own; and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal?
    Ernest Renan (1823–1892)

    I ... believe that in every country the people themselves are more peaceably and liberally inclined than their governments.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
