Politics is like sausages, you don't want to watch either being made.

Fools you are who say you like to learn from your mistakes. I prefer to learn from the mistakes of others, and avoid the cost of my own.

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

The Balkans arent worth the life of a single Pomeranian grenadier.

I consider even a victorious war as an evil, from which statesmanship must endeavor to spare nations.

Nothing should be left to an invaded people except their eyes for weeping.

Fools you are. To say you learn by your experience. I prefer to profit by others' mistakes and avoid the price of my own.
