“This is no war of chieftains or of princes, of dynasties or national ambition; it is a war of peoples and of causes.

This is a War of the Unknown Warriors”

“There is no such thing as a good influence. Because to influence a person is to give him one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions.
