What is one of the most famous quotes?

Question:About Switzerland ! its in the movie "The Third Man"

Answers:
It's in Graham Green's original, too.
Great quote.
Something like:
"The only thing Switzerland's ever done is invent the cuckoo clock."
Orson Wells says this in the movie.
In fact, Switzerland didn't invent the cuckoo clock.
And I'm sure the Swiss aren't happy about the quote.
"In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long, Holly." - The Third Man

This quote was not originally in the screenplay by Graham Greene but put in the film by Orson Welles who copied it from the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.
