World Alliance

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or alliance:

“You may persevere in obscurity for ten years in your study, but the day you make a name for yourself, the whole world will acclaim you.”
—Chinese proverb.

“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)
