I mean we're going to probably debate the Iraq war for at least as long as I'm alive.

With all the negativity going on in the world right now people need an escape. When you give them a hit record or a great record it allows them to escape for at least three to four minutes. They're not thinking bills or economy or immigration or war when you create that kind of ambiance.

I get offered a World War II movie at least once a week just because I speak German and was born there. I have always stayed away from it because I didn't want to be put into that box.

The natural principle of war is to do the most harm to our enemy with the least harm to ourselves and this of course is to be effected by stratagem.

We can for example be fairly confident that either there will be a world without war or there won't be a world - at least a world inhabited by creatures other than bacteria and beetles with some scattering of others.

The genuine truth and I do think about this a lot is that I'm one of the least competitive people you'll ever meet. Except with myself.

One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.

The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold.

We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
