“War: first, one hopes to win; then one expects the enemy to lose; then, one is satisfied that he too is suffering; in the end, one is surprised that everyone has lost.”

“One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one.”

“Very often in everyday life one sees that by losing one's temper with someone who has already lost his, one does not gain anything but only sets out upon the path of stupidity. He who has enough self-control to stand firm at the moment when the other person is in a temper, wins in the end. It is not he who has spoken a hundred words aloud who has won; it is he who has perhaps spoken only one word.”

“Everyone expects to be at the end of something. What no one expects is to be at the end of everything.”

“If enemy offers you two options, surprise him with your third one,end the feud with the fourth one.”

“The greatest enemy is one that has nothing to lose.”
