General Quotes

“And so there was no single cause for war, but it happened simply because it had to happen”
Leo Tolstoy

“At that moment it meant nothing to him who might be standing over him, or what was said of him; he was only glad that people were standing near him and only wished that they would help him and bring him back to life, which seemed to him so beautiful now that he had today learned to understand it so differently.”
Leo Tolstoy

“If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.”

“Looking back at the recent history of the world, I find it amazing how far civilization has retrogressed so quickly. As recently as World War I—granted the rules were violated at times—we had a set of rules of warfare in which armies didn’t make war against civilians: Soldiers fought soldiers. Then came World War II and Hitler’s philosophy of total war, which meant the bombing not only of soldiers but of factories that produced their rifles, and, if surrounding communities were also hit, that was to be accepted; then, as the war progressed, it became common for the combatants simply to attack civilians as part of military strategy. By the time the 1980s rolled around, we were placing our entire faith in a weapon whose fundamental target was the civilian population.”
Ronald Reagan

C.S. Lewis

Leo Tolstoy

“Believe this, “the higher you go, the further you see” and also “the further you see the clearer you hear; “the clearer you hear, the wiser you become”

“We get out of life what we put into it. The way we treat others is the way we ourselves get treated.”

Napoleon Hill

“Everyone is a leader because everyone influences someone.”
John C. Maxwell

“Everything must be made as simple as possible. But not simpler.”
Albert Einstein
