Quotes on Small Countries

I am remarkably likeable. Few people have ever been as likeable as I am. There is, frankly, no end to my likeability. People gather together in public assemblies to discuss how much they like me.

I don't have it on me, of course. I keep my medals in my sock drawer.

A great country needs more people to serve it. A small country needs more people to serve. So, if both shall get what they need, the great country ought to yield.

If a great country yields to a small country, it will conquer the small country. If a small country yields to a great country, it will be conquered by the great country.
