"As you can see, even when [Adolf]..." - Quote by Joseph Stalin

“I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this - who will count the votes, and how.”

“A sincere diplomat is like dry water or wooden iron.”

“History shows that there are no invincible armies.”

“I never wanted to be a career politician. I always am interested just to take on challenges that everyone says are impossible to do and to take it on.”

“Freedom is participation in power.”

“My first job is to say thank you to those who voted me. Those who didn't, I'm going to get your vote next time.”

“Hitler built a fortress around Europe, but he forgot to put a roof on it.”

“So far, the Far Eastern focal point of danger is the most active.It is possible, however, that the center of the menace may shift to Europe. Evidence of this is provided, for instance, by [Adolf] Hitler's recent interview given to a French paper. In this interview, Hitler seems to attempt to say peaceful things. But this "peacefulness" of his is so thickly interspersed with threats against France and the Soviet Union that nothing remains of the "peacefulness".”

“Hitler is a shy and friendly man with artistic tastes and gifts.”
