Georges Clemenceau

“War is a series of catastrophes that results in a victory.”

“America is the only nation in history which, miraculously, has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”

“A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he is not a man of action. It is as if a tennis player before returning the ball stopped to think about his views of the physical and mental advantages of tennis.”
