Pericles Quotes About Country

• Remember, too, that if your country has the greatest name in all the world, it is because she never bent before disaster; because she has expended more life and effort in war than any other city, and has won for herself a power greater than any hitherto known, the memory of which will descend to the latest posterity.

  Country, Memories, War

• Porque toda la tierra es la tumba de los hombres célebres; no sólo están conmemorados por columnas e inscripciones en su propio país, sino que en tierras extranjeras habita también un recuerdo no escrito de ellos, esculpido no en piedra sino en los corazones de los hombres.

  País, Corazón, Hombres

• I am of opinion that national greatness is more for the advantage of private citizens, than any individual well-being coupled with public humiliation. A man may be personally ever so well off, and yet if his country be ruined he must be ruined with it; whereas a flourishing commonwealth always affords chances of salvation to unfortunate individuals.
