Re: Quote of the day III
When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.
Winston Churchill

Re: Quote of the day III
Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.

Re: Quote of the day III
"Don't you see, we SS men were not supposed to think about these things; it never even occurred to us. ... We were all so trained to obey orders without even thinking that the thought of disobeying an order would never have occurred to anybody."
Rudolf Höss, commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp answering at Nuremberg to why they did what they did....

Re: Quote of the day III
It is humiliating to remain with our hands folded while others write history. It matters little who wins. To make a people great it is necessary to send them to battle even if you have to kick them in the pants. That is what I shall do.
Benito Mussolini

Since a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised when others believe him.

Re: Quote of the day III
As for being a General, well, at the age of four with paper hats and wooden swords, we're all Generals. Only some of us never grow out of it.
