Krieg / Wartime Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Krieg / Wartime:

Presidents in wartime, embattled presidents, unpopular presidents, they all look to Lincoln. He's their patron saint because no president was more embattled or more unpopular than Lincoln was during his presidency. We think he was born on Mount Rushmore. Not so. Richard Norton Smith

Usually the nonsense liberals spout is kind of cute, but in wartime their instinctive idiocy is life-threatening.

Ann Coulter

Michael Ashcroft

All defense secretaries in wartime have, needless to say, made misjudgments.

Bill Kristol

There's peacetime and there's wartime, and you don't need polarization on wartime issues. You need polarization on all other issues.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali

In my day, MI6 - which I called the Circus in the books - stank of wartime nostalgia. People were defined by secret cachet: one man did something absolutely extraordinary in Norway; another was the darling of the French Resistance. We didn't even show passes to go in and out of the building.

John le Carre

I understand that the tendency of foreign countries in recent years has been to establish particularly close relations with one or two others among all the countries which have general relations. In time of peace, they make secret treaties in advance, and in wartime, they aid one another with military provisions and armaments.

Zhang Zhidong

Nor do we begin to have a clear appreciation of what the increase in consumption of alcoholic beverages in wartime means in increased risk, and in loss of efficiency to the fighting and working forces of the country.

William Lyon Mackenzie King

To understand the hidden secret of the modern industrial world in which I find myself, I have to return to another world. That world is at once wartime Nice and the plantation - the sugar isles on which Europe's prosperity was built.

J. M. G. Le Clezio

Wars are not paid for in wartime, the bill comes later.

Benjamin Franklin

I have noticed, with much distress, the excessive wartime activity of the investigating bureaus of Congress and the administration, with their impertinent and indecent searching out of the private lives and the past political beliefs of individuals.

The man who gets drunk in peacetime is a coward. The man who gets drunk in wartime goes on being a coward.

Jose Bergamin

I grew up listening in awe to stories of their wartime adventures. My granny, Joan, was a journalist and wrote amazing letters to my grandpa when he was a prisoner of war, while my nana, Mary, was a Land Girl, then a Wren. They were so independent, resilient and glamorous.

Laura Carmichael

The Constitution has not greatly bothered any wartime President.

Francis Biddle

Presidents in wartime, embattled presidents, unpopular presidents, they all look to Lincoln. He's their patron saint because no president was more embattled or more unpopular than Lincoln was during his presidency. We think he was born on Mount Rushmore. Not so.

In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.

Winston Churchill

Under the Constitution, giving 'aid and comfort' to a wartime enemy can lead to a charge of treason.

Walter Cronkite

'The Man Who Never Was,' by Ewen Montagu, remains the best book about wartime espionage written by an active participant - incomplete, and dry in parts, it nonetheless summons up the ingenuity and sheer eccentricity of those who played this strange and dangerous game.

Ben Macintyre

A wartime C.E.O. may not delegate. They make every decision based on the next product release. They may use a lot of profanity.

To invent a war means that you've become a wartime president, and you can suspend much if not all of the Bill of Rights.

I was born in London 1947, after the war. A real wartime baby. I went to school in Brixton, and then I moved up to Yorkshire, which is in the north of England. I lived on the farms up there.

David Bowie

Eric Ashcroft, a gentle, kind, popular man with a wicked sense of humour, was always modest about his wartime exploits, but eventually, with much prompting from his persistent son, he told me of his terrifying experience on D-Day.

Michael Ashcroft

The National Guard has served America as both a wartime force and the first military responders in times of domestic crisis. Hundreds of times each year, the nation's governors call upon their Guard troops to respond to fires, floods, hurricanes and other natural disasters.

Russel Honore

That a district judge would overrule the president of the United States on a matter of border security in wartime is absurd.

Disability in the Middle East is viewed through a different lens because you're in wartime countries where it's much more mainstream, so I was just never 'other'd.

Maysoon Zayid

One of the things I took from my wartime experiences was that reality was a stage set... the comfortable day-to-day life, school, the home where one lives and all the rest of it... could be dismantled overnight.

J. G. Ballard

Every vice was once a virtue, and may become respectable again, just as hatred becomes respectable in wartime.

Will Durant

That soldiers do terrible things during wartime should not surprise us.
