Quotes about alliances

  • When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle. (Bierce Ambrose)
  • Union may be strength, but it is mere blind brute strength unless wisely directed. (Bierce Ambrose)
  • Coalitions though successful have always found this, that their triumph has been brief. (Bierce Ambrose)
  • I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal. Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating. (Bierce Ambrose)
  • All who think cannot but see there is a sanction like that of religion which binds us in partnership in the serious work of the world. (Bierce Ambrose)
  • Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none. (Bierce Ambrose)
  • We cannot always assure the future of our friends; we have a better chance of assuring our future if we remember who our friends are. (Bierce Ambrose)
  • An alliance is like a chain. It is not made stronger by adding weak links to it. A great power like the United States gains no advantage and it loses prestige by offering, indeed peddling, its alliances to all and sundry. An alliance should be hard diplomatic currency, valuable and hard to get, and not inflationary paper from the mimeograph machine in the State Department. (Bierce Ambrose)
  • “Any alliance whose purpose is not the intention to wage war is senseless and useless.” (Bierce Ambrose)
  • Alliance - in international politics, the union of two thieves who have their hands so deeply inserted in each other's pockets that they cannot separately plunder a third. (Bierce Ambrose)
