To retain respect for sausages and laws, one must not watch them in the making.

The death of Lincoln was a disaster for Christendom. There was no man in the United States great enough to wear his boots and the bankers went anew to grab the riches. I fear that foreign bankers with their craftiness and tortuous tricks will entirely control the exuberant riches of America and use it to systematically corrupt civilization.

The division of the United States into federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War by the high financial powers of Europe. These bankers were afraid that the United States, if they remained in one block and as one nation, would attain economic and financial independence, which would upset their financial domination over the world. The voice of the Rothschilds prevailed... Therefore they sent their emissaries into the field to exploit the question of slavery and to open an abyss between the two sections of the Union.

The Americans are a very lucky people. They're bordered to the north and south by weak neighbors, and to the east and west by fish.

There are two things you don't want to see being made - sausage and legislation.

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

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