N

Nation
Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.
JEFFERSON, THOMAS
How much more are men than nations!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is because nations tend to stupidity and baseness that
mankind moves so slowly; it is because individuals have a
capacity for better things that it moves at all.
George Gissing
There is no such thing as a little country. The greatness of a people is no more determined by their number than the greatness of a man is determined by his height.
Victor Hugo
A little one shall become a thousand and a small one a strong nation.
Isaiah
The behaviour of nations over a long period of time is the most reliable, though not the only, index of their national interest.
Walter Lippmann
That naion is worthless which does not joyfully stake everything in defence of her honour.
Schiler
No nation is fit to sit in judgement upon any other nation.
Woodrow Wilson
Nature
Nature made him, and then broke the mould.
ARIOSTO, LUDOVICO
Man is by nature a civic animal.
ARISTOTLE
What I call God and fools call Nature.
BROWNING, ROBERT
So soon as the man overtook me, he was but a word and a blow.
BUNYAN, JOHN
All Nature wears one universal grin.
FIELDING, HENRY
It is not linen you are wearing out but human creatures’ lives.
HOOD, THOMAS
Though you drive nature out with a pitchfork, she will ever return.
HORACE
Pure from the night, and splendid for the day.
MEREDITH, GEORGE
Slave to no sect, who takes no private road.
But looks through nature up to nature’s God.
POPE, ALEXANDER
Mountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery.
RUSKIN, JOHN
The mind from the beginning is of a pure nature, but since there is the finite aspect of it which is sullied by finite views, there is the sullied aspect of it. Although there is this defilement, yet the original pure nature is eternally unchanged. This mystery the Enlightened One alone understands.
ASVAGOSHA
Newspapers
Four hostile newsapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.
Napoleon Bonaparte
For the newspaper is in all literalness the bible of democracy, the book out of which a people determines its conduct. It is the only serious book most people read. It is the only book they read every day.
Walter Lippmann
So I became a newspaperman. I hated to do it but I couldn’t find honest employment.
Mark Twain
