country taken agreement
I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them?

Why would they accept that?

The realization that I came to is that each citizen for himself or herself understands the economics, which is, "I better make more than I spend and I better put something aside for a rainy day, and I want to get a good idea about what to do with the surplus so that perhaps it can grow while I'm sleeping." And that that's capitalism. Everybody practices it, but half of the country - those on the left - deny that it's true. David Mamet

country iceland healthy
Maybe it's just a personal thing, but I get so much grounding from Iceland because I know it's always going to be there.

It's sort of a contradiction, but that's how it works somehow. Bjork

country men america
To accept your country without betraying it, you must love it for that which shows what it might become.

Cornel West
