World Governing

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or governing:

“When will the world learn that a million men are of no importance compared with one man?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.”
—A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
