Quotations regarding 'State'
If there are men in this country big enough to own the government of the United States, they are going to own it.
Woodrow Wilson, American President (1856-1924)
Our recent 5-year labour agreements, in Canada as well as the United States, are based upon experience, logic and principle rather than on pressure, propaganda and force.
Charles E. Wilson, American Businessman (1886-1972)
I think movies are good for getting into dream states or exploring weird alternate states of thinking.
Alex Winter, American Actor (1965- )
I wouldn't have thought that a wrong theory should lead us to understand better the ordinary quantum field theories or to have new insights about the quantum states of black holes.
Edward Witten, American Mathematician (1951- )
I think one has to say it's not just simply a matter of capturing people and holding them accountable, but removing the sanctuaries, removing the support systems, ending states who sponsor terrorism. And that's why it has to be a broad and sustained campaign.
Paul Wolfowitz, American Celebrity (1943- )
There's a real purity in New Zealand that doesn't exist in the states. It's actually not an easy thing to find in our world anymore. It's a unique place because it is so far away from the rest of the world. There is a sense of isolation and also being protected.
Elijah Wood, American Actor (1981- )
By what right do you refuse to accept the vote of a citizen of the United States?
Victoria Woodhull, American Activist (1838-1927)
The strongest bank in the United States will last only so long as the people will have sufficient confidence in it to keep their money there.
Carter G. Woodson, American Historian (1875-1950)
The United States brags about its political system, but the President says one thing during the election, something else when he takes office, something else at midterm and something else when he leaves.
Deng Xiaoping, Chinese Leader (1904-1997)
In the first six to twelve months of a war with the United States and Great Britain I will run wild and win victory upon victory.
Isoroku Yamamoto, Japanese Soldier (1884-1943)
We are well aware from which countries and through which countries the terrorists are receiving support. In the immediate future I shall be calling upon the leaders of these states to put a stop to this kind of activity.
Boris Yeltsin, Russian Statesman (1931-2007)
The other are the strategic, so-called strategic stocks that the United States and the other Western industrial countries have, which could put in as much as four million barrels a day of oil into the market pretty quickly.
Daniel Yergin, American Author (1947- )
That is because the conflict with al Qaeda is not governed by the Geneva Conventions, which applies only to international conflicts between states that have signed them.
John Yoo, American Educator (1967- )
Almost a century has passed since Japan first entered the world community by concluding a treaty of amity with the United States of America in 1854.
Shigeru Yoshida, Japanese Politician (1878-1967)
The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced.
Frank Zappa, American Musician (1940-1993)
Bourgeois society is not fundamentally opposed to the bourgeois women's movement, which is proven by the fact that in various states reforms of private and public laws concerning women have been initiated.
Clara Zetkin, German Politician (1857-1933)
Thus, anybody who follows this nature and gives way its states will be led into quarrels and conflicts, and go against the conventions and rules of society, and will end up a criminal.
Xun Zi, Chinese Philosopher
In the United States today, the Declaration of Independence hangs on schoolroom walls, but foreign policy follows Machiavelli.
Howard Zinn, American Historian (1922-2010)
Any Mexican, would recognise that Mexico was abused, undervalued and downgraded in international circles, most of all by the United States.
Adolfo Aguilar Zinser, Mexican Diplomat (1949-2005)
I am what you might call abstractly anti-capitalist. For instance, I am suspicious of the old leftists who focus all their hatred on the United States. What about Chinese neo-colonialism? Why are the left silent about that? When I say this, it annoys them, of course. Good!
Slavoj Zizek, Philosopher
