The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“The Great War differed from all ancient wars in the immense power of the combatants and their fearful agencies of destruction, and from all modern wars in the utter ruthlessness with which it was fought. ... Europe and large parts of Asia and Africa became one vast battlefield on which after years of struggle not armies but nations broke and ran.

Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer“Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.”
