You can't destroy the polish national-consciousness or Poles on the battlefield, but if you give them power, they will destroy themselves

Our German forefathers had a very kind religion. They believed that, after death, they would meet again all the good dogs that had been their companions in life. I wish I could believe that too.

Politics is not a science, as the professors are apt to suppose. It is an art.

We are better off not knowing how sausages and laws are made.
