Marcus Tullius Cicero: I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3860
Bashar al-Assad: You no doubt know that the greatest part of this victory was achieved by the Soviet people, by the people who live in the republics of the former Soviet Union. Unfortunately, we used to believe that the 20th century was the bloodiest, but we now see in the 21st century a new danger to humanity in the form of terrorism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3861
Tommy Douglas: Let me remind you what fascism is. It need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt. It may even wear a dress shirt. Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3862
Ursula von der Leyen: Indeed, if we look back, a little over 50 years ago, the Club of Rome and a group of MIT researchers published the Limits of Growth Report. It mapped the interaction between population growth, the economy and the environment. And it came 50 years ago to address the conclusion. Stop economic and population growth, or else our planet will not cope. And as you know, this report has sparked a long controversy. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3863
Christopher Hitchens: When you follow God, you submit to a celestial dictator who not only demands obedience but seeks control over your body, desires, and thoughts. This totalitarian system fosters a mentality of slavery and strips you of personal freedom and dignity. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3864
Fidel Castro: Obama already said his promise to withdraw US soldiers from Afghanistan would be delayed, and taxes on the wealthiest suspended in the immediate future. After the Nobel Prize he should be awarded the prize for the “greatest snake charmer” who ever lived. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3865
Fidel Castro: Many people wonder: who rules over whom, the United States over Israel or Israel over the United States? https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3866

Will Durant: History has been too often a picture of the bloody stream. The history of civilization is a record of what happened on the banks. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3868
Will Durant: The great problem of any civilization is how to rejuvenate itself without rebarbarization. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3869
Margaret Thatcher: In Britain with our democratic institutions and the need for a high degree of consent, some of the measures adopted in Chile are quite unacceptable. Our reform must be in line with our traditions and our Constitution. At times the process may seem painfully slow. But I am certain we shall achieve our reforms in our own way and in our own time. Then they will endure. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3870
Carl von Clausewitz: War is an act of violence pushed to its utmost bounds. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3871
Carl von Clausewitz: Since war is not an act of senseless passion but is controlled by its political object, the value of this object must determine the sacrifices to be made for it in magnitude and also in duration. Once the expenditure of effort exceeds the value of the political object, the object must be renounced and peace must follow. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3872
Carl von Clausewitz: Action in war is like movement in a resistant element. Just as the simplest and most natural of movements, walking, cannot easily be performed in water, so in war it is difficult for normal efforts to achieve even moderate results. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3873
Tolstoy: There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness, and truth. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3874
