10 QUOTES WITH «STATESMEN»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word statesmen.
1
Abigail Adams
If we mean to have heroes, statesmen and philosophers, we should have learned women.
2
John Bachman
The president said nothing about the views of government in regard to the possibility of Carolinas seceding. This however was frequently spoken of by other statesmen at the North. I think they were unanimous in this, that no army would be sent here.
3
Russell Baker
Letter writing was clearly important to Reagan. Even as president he kept dashing off letters to friends, pen pals, media people, statesmen, critics, and the kind of people who write to presidents never expecting a reply.
4
Hjalmar Branting
And the annual meetings of the League's Assembly are in effect official peace congresses binding on the participating states to an extent that most statesmen a quarter of a century ago would have regarded as utopian.
5
Rene Cassin
We were thus led to organize ourselves, as men who had fought the war together, in order to support those statesmen who had truly understood the lessons of that World War, thus attempting to prevent its recurrence.
6
Benjamin Disraeli
The world is weary of statesmen whom democracy has degraded into politicians.
7
Bob Edwards
Now I know what a statesman is; he's a dead politician. We need more statesmen.
8
Robert Englund
While I still do a lot of horror, it doesn't feel to me like I'm repeating myself. I like to stay interested. I'm kind of turning into one of those elder statesmen, like a Vincent Price or a Donald Pleasence. I like to think of myself alongside those guys.
9
Felix Frankfurter
We forget that the most successful statesmen have been professionals. Lincoln was a professional politician.
10
Daphne Guinness
We need a government, not politics. Because there's too much politics. Of course there should be debate. But there seems to be so much pettiness and not enough good faith. It is civilized to agree to disagree, and this idea is slowly disintegrating. The great statesmen of the past knew this, and I think it helps drive civilization.
