In my experience, it is rarer to find a really happy person in a circle of millionaires than among vagabonds.

I was in uniform for four years, and I know that heroism doesn't occur from taking orders, but rather from people who through their own willpower and strength are willing to sacrifice their lives for an idea.

Those who have experienced the most, have suffered so much that they have ceased to hate. Hate is more for those with a slightly guilty conscience, and who by chewing on old hate in times of peace wish to demonstrate how great they were during the war.

I don't believe in war as a solution to any kind of conflict, nor do I believe in heroism on the battlefield because I have never seen any.

Man invents the most inhuman armaments to assault others so like himself that uniforms are needed to distinguish between friend and foe.

We have always been taught that navigation is the result of civilization, but modern archeology has demonstrated very clearly that this is not so.

Civilization grew in the beginning from the minute that we had communication - particularly communication by sea that enabled people to get inspiration and ideas from each other and to exchange basic raw materials.
