World of Quotes (day 2)

• by Lord of Painkillers

welcome to the second edition of World of Quotes today i will set the topic on war and army because the world of eRepublik seems to be getting violent again, LETS THE QUOTING BEGIN

#1) Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
John F. Kennedy

this statement by JFK really makes you appreciate how smart he was and the tragedy behind his death, but i think this quote has meaning to it, i think it means that you have to forgive but always watch out for something to happen again.

#2)I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
John Adams

truly inspirational, John Adams as i see it ( and i think you all see what he is saying too) he pretty much says that he puts his personal importance behind him so that we may have freedom.

#3) The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic.
Joseph Stalin

the words of communist leader stalin, what he says is true, if one man dies many people are sad but when many people die people always decide to look at it as a problem that needs fixing and usually it is caused by war.

thats all for today so remember to tell me what you personally think these mean, in the comment section BELOW!!!

Good quotes here Lord of Painkillers and deckadad.

Kennedy's quote is fairly straightforward. I wonder if he has a list like Nixon, "Forgiven Enemies List".

I like John Adams' quote. Unfortunately even today there are too many of us who have to study politics and war although things have certainly improved in that regard. I don't believe that the percentage of soldiers in the Canadian population has ever been lower. Of course, there are two views on whether or not that is a good thing.

3) Stalin may have been one of the worst humans ever to live but he's right about this one. I don't always think of this quote directly, although I have seen it before, but I have similar thoughts. When we see the number of homeless in Pakistan after the floods there, over 10 millions, we cannot fathom the depth of despair and yet we have done little in comparison to the response to the earthquake in Haiti. And yet we become attached to stories that are only minor tragedies, in the grand scheme of things. When the tiger in the Calgary zoo gave birth to two cubs a couple weeks back and news came out that they died it seemed that the entire country felt sad and these were just animals, which is not to say that all life isn't important but merely that human life should have a higher value. Why is it that small events seem to effect us more than larger ones?

Quick comment:

#3) The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic. Joseph Stalin

I believe Stalin was reflecting on his own mortality in comparison to the millions of lives he callously destroyed in the Gulags.
