What is your favourite quotation about a country?

Question

mine is this by Billy Wilder;

france is a country where the money falls apart in your hands and you can't tear the toilet paper

Answer 1

This is one of my favorites.

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and l**k the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

- Samuel Adams

Since France seems to be a theme in this question here is another by a french statesman that I like.

“Everyone wants to live at the expense of the State. They forget that the State lives at the expense of everyone.”

- Frederic Bastiat

Answer 2

"South Africa. Now there's a country with no blood on it's hands..."

I think Russell Brand, or some other comedian said that.

Answer 3

George Bernard Shaw famously remarked that "England and America are two countries separated by a common language"

Answer 4
