Socialism is an attack on the right to breathe freely. No socialist system can be established without a political police.

It is one thing to see the forward path and another to be able to take it. But it is better to have an ambitious plan than none at all.

When I find a ladybug I ask the butler to take it outside instead of killing it.

[Much] as war attracts me and fascinates my mind with its tremendous situations, I feel more deeply every year . . . what vile and wicked folly and barbarism it all is.

Where there is a great deal of free speech there is always a certain amount of foolish speech.

A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.

Please put the ladybug outside without harming her. (to his butler)
