Here I stand, with all my lore,

law and medicine, philosophy,

and, alas, theology too,

studied through with ardent zeal.

And here I stand, poor fool,

no wiser than I was before…

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Sir, I do not share your opinion,

but I would give my life

for your right to express it.

Voltaire/Tallentyre

You cannot strengthen the weak

by weakening the strong.

Abraham Lincoln

From the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step.

Napoleon Bonaparte

In all cases, hoping is better than despairing.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Tactics is the theory of the use of armed forces

for the purpose of the engagement;

strategy is the theory of the use of engagements

for the purpose of the war.

Carl von Clausewitz

From education comes knowledge.

From knowledge comes power.

From power comes responsibility.

Stefan Nägeler

Knowledge is a treasure that accompanies

its owner wherever he goes.

Chinese saying

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil

is that good men do nothing.

Edmund Burke

The pacifism of the 1930s

is what made Auschwitz possible in the first place.

Heiner Geißler

Abolish the military, and then

there will be no more wars, right?

Abolish the police,

and then there will be no more crime.

Stefan Nägeler

The terrible course of this war seems

to me a warning example

of the disaster and dangers that arise

when narrow-hearted and limited men

hold the highest positions.

Cicely Veronica Wedgwood

(The Thirty Years War)

Killing a human being is immoral.

Right? Right.

And if I could prevent the Second World War and the

Holocaust by killing one

human being, Adolf Hitler, would that

also be immoral? Reality is hot on my heels.

Stefan Nägeler

Is self-defence legitimate? I think so.

So is defending others, then?

Reality is still hot on my heels.

Stefan Nägeler

What do the commandments say? Thou shalt not kill?

Or thou shalt not murder? No difference?

I think there is.

Stefan Nägeler

What is the meaning of life for a believer?

In my opinion, the meaning is

to strive

to lead a life pleasing to God.

Stefan Nägeler

For to everyone who has, more will be given,

and he will have abundance;

but from him who has not,

even what he has will be taken away.

Matthew 25

The parable of the talents
