Hjalmar Branting, Swedish Statesman (1860-1925)
Let us return, however, to the League of Nations. To create an organization which is in a position to protect peace in this world of conflicting interests and egotistic wills is a frighteningly difficult task.
Hjalmar Branting, Swedish Statesman (1860-1925)
This means that the search for a formula of European cooperation in connection with the League of Nations, far from weakening the authority of this latter must and can only tend to strengthen it, for it is closely connected with its aims.
Aristide Briand, French Statesman (1862-1932)
The European organisation contemplated could not oppose any ethnic group, on other continents or in Europe itself, outside of the League of Nations, any more than it could oppose the League of Nations.
Aristide Briand, French Statesman (1862-1932)
But I am sure also that from a political point of view, and from a social point of view the federal link, without infringing the sovereignty of any of the nations which might take part in such as association, could be beneficial.
Aristide Briand, French Statesman (1862-1932)

John Brough, American Politician (1811-1865)
The E.U. is more than just a trade organization or a common market; it is a guarantee of democracy, freedom, justice, and human rights. Nations cannot stay in the E.U. if they do not respect these guarantees.
John Bruton, Irish Politician (1947-  )

Education is the cheap defense of nations.
Edmund Burke, Irish Statesman (1729-1797)
There is but one law for all, namely that law which governs all law, the law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity - the law of nature and of nations.
Edmund Burke, Irish Statesman (1729-1797)
I loved her. I still love her, though I curse her in my sleep, so nearly one are love and hate, the two most powerful and devasting emotions that control man, nations, life.
Edgar Rice Burroghs, -
We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace.
George W. Bush, American President (1946-  )
We can't allow the world's worst leaders to blackmail, threaten, hold freedom-loving nations hostage with the world's worst weapons.
George W. Bush, American President (1946-  )

It will give them the opportunity to show themselves worthy of the respect and friendship of peace-loving nations, and in time, to take an honorable place among members of the United Nations.
James F. Byrnes, American Politician (1879-1972)
We have helped to organize the United Nations. We believe it will stop aggressor nations from starting wars. Because we believe it, we intend to support the United Nations organization with all the power and resources we possess.
