Politics:
Any democracy leads to the dictatorship of the scum.
The main classes of deputies - is endless ranting and extortion of bribes.
The people of mad almost entirely, the government - no more than half.

Unfortunately, fate can not turn to the insurance company, even if you're willing to pay the maximum price for the policy.
On friendship:
Friends can only be purchased in dogs and sepulchral worms, and they are only interested in their own saturation.
When life is coming to an end, and only a few steps separate us from the grave, we rarely look for new friends, but most of the old trust.
On War:
The only justification for the existence of the military industry - is the security of the people.
On the day when the two armies will be able to destroy each other in one second, all civilized nations in horror recoil from war and disbanded army.
War - it is horror of horrors, it is the most terrible crime. I would like to invent a substance or machine of such destructive power that any war at all would be impossible.
People who care only about getting the maximum benefit, it is hardly worthy of respect, and the consciousness of the true motives of their activity is able to overshadow the joy of human communication.
Conventional wisdom:
I have a thousand ideas and only one of them turns out to be fruitful.
Our life is an extraordinary gift, a precious stone, received by us from the hands of Mother Nature so that we are ground and polished it up as long as his brilliance did not reward us for our efforts.
Any invention and opening leaves an indelible mark on the minds of people, and this gives us hope that the generations that come after us, will be more of those who are able to change the culture, to make it better and more perfect.
A good reputation is more important than a clean shirt. The shirt can be washed, reputation - never.
