Quotations regarding 'State'
I would rather see the United States respected than loved by other nations.
Henry Cabot Lodge, American Politician (1850-1924)
Contrast the United States with any country on the face of the earth today and ask yourself whether the situation of the United States is not the best to be found.
Henry Cabot Lodge, American Politician (1850-1924)
If that for which the Spanish Empire has stood since the days of Charles V is right, then everything for which the United States stands and has always stood is wrong.
Henry Cabot Lodge, American Politician (1850-1924)
The United States is the world's best hope, but if you fetter her in the interests and quarrels of other nations, if you tangle her in the intrigues of Europe, you will destroy her power for good and endanger her very existence.
Henry Cabot Lodge, American Politician (1850-1924)
The independence of the United States is not only more precious to ourselves but to the world than any single possession.
Henry Cabot Lodge, American Politician (1850-1924)
Standing, as I believe the United States stands for humanity and civilization, we should exercise every influence of our great country to put a stop to that war which is now raging in Cuba and give to that island once more peace, liberty, and independence.
Henry Cabot Lodge, American Politician (1850-1924)
As you begin your tour of the United States, you may as well know that one American national trait which irritates many Americans and must be convenient for our critics is that we relentlessly advertise our imperfections.
Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., American Politician (1902-1985)
The only things that the United States has given to the world are skyscrapers, jazz, and cocktails. That is all. And in Cuba, in our America, they make much better cocktails.
Federico Garcia Lorca, Spanish Poet (1898-1936)
Most Americans in both red and blue states reject and resent the message being sent by Hollywood and some in the media that values are subjective, to be defined by the individual and not by God.
Trent Lott, American Politician (1941- )
The United States of America have taken their name from the United States of the Netherlands.
Seth Low, American Educator (1850-1916)
Eighty-six percent of the gun death of children under the age of 14 internationally is right here in the United States of America. It is madness.
Nita Lowey, American Politician (1937- )
I would like to raise my glass to friendship between Russia and the United States.
Richard Lugar, American Politician (1932- )
The United States cannot feed every person, lift every person out of poverty, cure every disease, or stop every conflict. But our power and status have conferred upon us a tremendous responsibility to humanity.
Richard Lugar, American Politician (1932- )
War is the greatest plague that can afflict humanity, it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. Any scourge is preferable to it.
Martin Luther, German Leader (1483-1546)
I'm always making Butcher Holler sound like the most backward part of the United States-and I think maybe it is.
Loretta Lynn, American Musician (1935- )
I've seen every highway in the United States, and they all look alike to me.
Loretta Lynn, American Musician (1935- )
If the United States leads a multinational force into Iraq without United Nations backing, Canada should fight beside its neighbour. We've gone from being a middle power to a muddle power on this one.
Peter MacKay, Canadian Politician (1965- )
I've done Graham Norton's show three times now. He tackles taboos and subject matter that wouldn't make it past the censors in the States.
Kyle MacLachlan, American Actor (1959- )
The State Film Authority will be there for film as industry only, as is the case in all the other states, except Victoria. Victoria is moving more now into supporting non-commercial films.
Ann Macbeth, English Author
The main foundations of every state, new states as well as ancient or composite ones, are good laws and good arms you cannot have good laws without good arms, and where there are good arms, good laws inevitably follow.
Niccolo Machiavelli, Italian Writer (1469-1527)
