Quotes
”Today we are the poorest and weakest nation in the world and occupy the lowest position in international affairs. Other men are the carving knife and serving dish; we are the fish and the meat.” – Sun Yat-sen
“Rich country, strong military” – slogan of the Meiji for Japan
“We have ruled here for 300 years with the whip and the club and we shall still be doing it in another 300 years.” – Dutch governor regarding Javanese revolt in 1825
“Fate has written our policy for us; the trade of the world must and shall be ours. We will establish trading-posts throughout the world as distributing-points for American products…. Great colonies governing
themselves, flying our flag and trading with us, will grow about our posts of trade.” – American Senator Albert J. Beveridge (1898)
“All great nations in the fullness of their strength have desired to set their mark upon barbarian lands and those who fail to participate in this great rivalry will play a pitiable role in time to come” – Heinrich von
Treitschke, German historian
“I contend that we [Britons] are the finest race in the world, and the more of the world we inhabit, the better it is for the human race…It is our duty to seize every opportunity of acquiring more territory and we
should keep this one idea steadily before our eyes that more territory simply means more of the Anglo-Saxon race, more of the best, the most human, most honourable race the world possesses.” – Cecil Rhodes,
Confessions of Faith, 1877
