Famous quotes containing the words united and/or nations:
“We begin with friendships, and all our youth is a reconnoitering and recruiting of the holy fraternity they shall combine for the salvation of men. But so the remoter stars seem a nebula of united light, yet there is no group which a telescope will not resolve; and the dearest friends are separated by impassable gulfs.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There have been some nations who could do nothing but construct tombs, and these are the only traces which they have left. They are the heathen.”
