“1 dead is a tragedy, 10.000 dead is a statistic.”
Joseph Stalin
Not all German soldiers were members of the National Socialist movement; as history tells he it wasn’t particularly happy with the antisemitism his government were spouting but placed his country above his beliefs.

The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced.
There is little success where there is little laughter.
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.
No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it.
People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.
You cannot push any one up a ladder unless he be willing to climb a little himself.
Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself.
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
The way to become rich is to put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.
Surplus wealth is a sacred trust which its possessor is bound to administer in his lifetime for the good of the community.

Was a student of Andrew Carnegie (above).
Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.
A goal is a dream with a deadline.
Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.
Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.
The starting point of all achievement is desire.
Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.
Every adversity, every failure, and every heartache, carries with it the Seed of an equivalent or greater Benefit.
It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.
Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.
“Two elements must therefore be rooted out once for all, – the fear of future suffering, and the recollection of past suffering; since the latter no longer concerns me, and the former concerns me not yet.”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
