“After the verb "to love,", "to help" is the most beautiful verb in the world.”
Bertha von Suttner

“L'avenir appartient à la gentillesse.”
Bertha von Suttner

“Wenn man auch die Fähigkeit nicht hat, über einen gewissen Grad von Mitschmerz hinaus zu fühlen - zu denken und zu berechnen vermag man es doch, daß die unfaßbare Jammerquantität vorhanden ist -"
"Das vermagst du und ein paar anders -, doch die meisten denken und berechnen nicht."
"Denken nicht," wiederholte er. "Gott sei's geklagt, das ist an allen Übeln schuld: die meisten denken nicht.”
Bertha von Suttner, Die Waffen nieder!
