The Third Man
Quote from The Third Man:
Harry Lime (Orson Welles) to Holly Martins (Joseph Cotton)
" . . . What the fella said, in Italy for 30 years out of the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, and murder, and bloodshed; But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo DaVinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
