Georges Clemenceau
» Action » “A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he’s not a man of action.. You must act as you breathe.”
» Action » “When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isn’t a man of action. Action is a lack of balance. In order to act you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking.”
» America » “America is the only nation in history which, miraculously, has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
» Army and Navy » “War is too important a matter to be left to the military.”
» Failure » “A man’s life is interesting primarily when he has failed — I well know. For it’s a sign that he tried to surpass himself.”
» War and Peace » “It is far easier to make war than to make peace.”
» Wisdom » “Everything I know I learned after I was thirty.”
