Old Complaint
George Burns was once asked, late in life, about his preference for younger women. "I would go out with women my age," he replied, "but there are no women my age."
["Sex at an advanced age," George Burns once remarked, "is like trying to shoot pool with a rope!"]
Quotations by General George S. Patton, Jr.
(1885-1945)
"You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things. Brave undisciplined men have no chance against the discipline and valor of other men. Have you ever seen a few policemen handle a crowd?"
"It is absurd to believe that soldiers who cannot be made to wear the proper uniform can be induced to move forward in battle. Officers who fail to perform their duty by correcting small violations and in enforcing proper conduct are incapable of leading."
"Lead, follow me, or get out of my way."
"May God have mercy on my enemies, because I won't."
"Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack."
Quotations by Adolf Hitler
(1889-1945)
"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun control registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!"
"England, unlike in 1914, will not allow herself to blunder into war lasting for years...Such is the fate of rich countries... Not even England has the money nowadays to fight a world war. What should England fight for? You don't get yourself killed over an ally."
"The war against Russia will be such that it cannot be conducted in a knightly fashion. The struggle is one of ideologies and racial differences and will have to be conducted with unprecedented, unmerciful and unrelenting harshness."
"The personification of the devil as symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew."
"What goal, man has reached is due to his originality plus his brutality."
