When they are preparing for war, those who rule by force speak most copiously about peace until they have completed the mobilization process.
From Stefan Zweig
The free, independent spirit who commits himself to no dogma and will not decide in favor of any party has no homestead on earth.
There is no sense to a sacrifice after you come to feel that it is a sacrifice.
Only the person who has experienced light and darkness, war and peace, rise and fall, only that person has truly experienced life.
In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.
In history, the moments during which reason and reconciliation prevail are short and fleeting.
