World Alliance

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or alliance:

“The world leans on us. When we sag, the whole world seems to droop.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

“An alliance is like a chain. It is not made stronger by adding weak links to it. A great power like the United States gains no advantage and it loses prestige by offering, indeed peddling, its alliances to all and sundry. An alliance should be hard diplomatic currency, valuable and hard to get, and not inflationary paper from the mimeograph machine in the State Department.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
