  • If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a 'peace conference,' you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and airplanes.

  • It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.

  • I believe in one thing only, the power of human will.

  • The only real power comes out of a long rifle.

  • I trust no one, not even myself.
