Qoute Day

Today is a day to celebrate famous figure's qoutes. Here are some good ones. They are listed by person.
Joseph Stalin
  • A sincere diplomat is like dry water or wooden iron.
  • A single death is a tragedy, are million deaths is a statistic.
  • Death is the solution to all problems. No man - no problem.
  • Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach.
  • Gratitude is a sickness suffered by dogs.
  • History shows that there are no invincible armies.
  • I trust no one, not even myself.
  • Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don't allow our enemies to have guns, why should we allow them to have ideas?
  • If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.
  • 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.
  • The only real power comes out of a long rifle
  • You cannot make a revolution with silk gloves.

Friedrich Nietzsche

  • A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love.
  • Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.
  • All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?
  • An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris.
  • And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
  • Anyone who has declared someone else to be an idiot, a bad apple, is annoyed when it turns out in the end that he isn't.
  • Behind all their personal vanity, women themselves always have an impersonal contempt for woman.
  • Blessed are the forgetful: for they get the better even of their blunders.
  • Egoism is the very essence of a noble soul
  • 'Evil men have no songs.' How is it that the Russians have songs?
  • Madness is rare in individuals - but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule.
  • Whoever battles with monsters had better see that it does not turn him into a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
  • Man is the cruelest animal.
  • Plato is boring.

Theodore Roosevelt

  • A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.
  • A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards.
  • A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends upon the character of the user.
  • Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
  • Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.
  • Germany has reduced savagery to a science, and this great war for the victorious peace of justice must go on until the German cancer is cut clean out of the world body.
  • If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.
  • Obedience of the law is demanded; not asked as a favor.
  • Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.
  • The government is us; we are the government, you and I.
  • The man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife.
  • We can have no "50-50" allegiance in this country
  • When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer "Present" or "Not guilty."

Some of Roosevelt's qoutes can be changed to be more New Swedish. Just ask about which ones by commenting.

It warms my heart to see that the kids are reading Nietzsche.
