Revolutions in Prussia are started by kings, and since it is a revolution, it is better to start it ourselves than to suffer of it ~ Otto Von Bismarck
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Otto Von Bismarck
To enlist the support of the people and of parliament, you only have to propose a profitable villainy. ~ Franz Grillparzer
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Franz Grillparzer
There in the midst of German life is an alien and isolated race of men. Loud and self-conscious in their dress, hot-blooded and restless in their manner. An Asiatic horde on the sandy plains of Prussia. Forming among themselves a close corporation, rigorously shut off from the rest of the world. ~ Walther Rathenau
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Walther Rathenau
It is time,my darling."
"Oh,Frankie,no-"
"You chose dare," he reminded her.
"I did," she agreed sadly, stepping up. "You're right."
It hadn't been entirely fair of him, starting the game in the middle of Neiman Marcus. The King of Prussia Mall, a zillion acres of retail-and-food-in-a-box, is many people's idea of perfect therapy. Me? If given the choice, I might opt for swimming with sharks instead. But today was about Frankie.
"So," he told her, "I pick out three outfits,head to toe. You put them on."
"Fine." Sadie pulled her jacket closer around her.This one was a muddy pruple, and had a third sleeve stitched tot he back. "But if you pick anything like that"- she pointed to a tiny tartan dress that seemed to be missing its entire back- "I will cry."
"Have faith," he replied with a slightly twisted smile, and dragged her toward women's sportswear. "What our sport is," he said apropos of very little save the sign on the wall, "I have no idea."
Ten minutes later, Sadie was heading into the dressing room with an armful of autumn color and a look like she was on her way off a cliff. ~ Melissa Jensen
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Melissa Jensen
It is reported here that the King of Prussia has gone mad and has been locked up. There would be nothing bad about that: at leastthat might of his would no longer be a menace, and you could breathe freely for a while. I much prefer madmen who are locked up to those who are not. ~ Lord Chesterfield
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Lord Chesterfield
German soldiers, posted as informers, were found dressed as peasants, even as peasant women. The latter were discovered, presumably in the course of non-military action, by their government issued underwear; but many were probably never caught, it being impossible, General Gourko regretfully admitted, to lift the skirts of every female in East Prussia. ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Barbara W. Tuchman
bend over freddy of prussia let the empress take aim your butt will fly to russia and your brains to sunny spain ~ Kathryn Lasky
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Kathryn Lasky
If I wished to punish a province, I would have it governed by philosophers. ~ Frederick The Great
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Frederick The Great
We're gonna do like Posh and Becks and call it after the place it was conceived."
"Where's that?" I asked.
"King of Prussia. ~ Henry G. Radcliff
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Henry G. Radcliff
When you want to fool the world, tell the truth. ~ Otto Von Bismarck
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Otto Von Bismarck
Where some states have an army, the Prussian Army has a state. ~ Voltaire
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Voltaire
The gentleness, the sentimentality, of many Soviet troops toward small children in Prussia was noted at the time. A woman with a baby, local people learned, was practically immune to rape. But even sentimental troops, the men who kept their pockets full of sweets for hungry German kids, worried about their families back home. It was a long time since any had seen their children. ~ Catherine Merridale
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Catherine Merridale
There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America. ~ Otto Von Bismarck
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Otto Von Bismarck
War is the national industry of Prussia. ~ Honore Gabriel Riqueti, Comte De Mirabeau
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Honore Gabriel Riqueti, Comte De Mirabeau
In trying to defend everything he defended nothing. ~ Frederick The Great
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Frederick The Great
There has never been a 'war on drugs'! In our history we can only see an ongoing conflict amongst various drug users – and producers. In ancient Mexico the use of alcohol was punishable by death, while the ritualistic use of mescaline was highly worshipped. In 17th century Russia, tobacco smokers were threatened with mutilation or decapitation, alcohol was legal. In Prussia, coffee drinking was prohibited to the lower classes, the use of tobacco and alcohol was legal. ~ Sebastian Marincolo
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Sebastian Marincolo
As to your Newton, I confess I do not understand his void and his gravity; I admit he has demonstrated the movement of the heavenly bodies with more exactitude than his forerunners; but you will admit it is an absurdity to maintain the existence of Nothing.
[Letter to Voltaire, 25 Nov. 1777] ~ Frederick The Great
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Frederick The Great
I consider it a degradation and a stain on my honor to submit to baptism in order to qualify myself for state employment in Prussia. ~ Heinrich Heine
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Heinrich Heine
Have you ever wondered where the idea of retirement at the age of 65 came from? I'll tell you where: Otto von Bismarck, the president of Prussia, in 1889. Actually, Bismarck's government: At the time, the life expectancy of the average Prussian was about 45. Today, so many are living well into their 80s and 90s that the same promise might well bankrupt the federal government within the next generation. ~ Robert T. Kiyosaki
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Robert T. Kiyosaki
Every man must get to Heaven his own way. ~ Frederick The Great
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Frederick The Great
Our work is to present things that are as they are. ~ Frederick The Great
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Frederick The Great
To get to Earth from the edge of the solar system, depending on the time of year and the position of the planets, you need to pass through at least Poland, Prussia, and Turkey, and you'd probably get stamps in your passport from a few of the other great powers. Then as you get closer to the world, you arrive at a point, in the continually shifting carriage space over the countries, where this complexity has to give way or fail. And so you arrive in the blissful lubrication of neutral orbital territory. ~ Paul Cornell
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Paul Cornell
Prussia was hatched from a cannon-ball. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Know thyself!" There is nothing that so aids and assists the awakening of omniscience within us as insistent thoughts about one's own transgressions, errors, mistakes. After the difficult cycles of such ponderings over many years, whenever I mentioned the heartlessness of our highest-ranking bureaucrats, the cruelty of our executioners, I remember myself in my captain's shoulder boards and the forward march of my battery through East Prussia, enshrouded in fire, and I say: "So were we any better?" When people express vexation, in my presence, over the West's tendency to crumble, its political shortsightedness, its divisiveness, its confusion - I recall too: "Were we, before passing through the Archipelago, more steadfast? Firmer in our thoughts?" And that is why I turn back to the years of my imprisonment and say, sometimes to the astonishment of those about me: "Bless you, prison!"… (And from beyond the grave come replies: It is very well for you to say that - when you came out of it alive!) ~ Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Alexander Solzhenitsyn
My grandmother on my father's side, a nightclub singer, was a Jewish refugee from Prussia who ended up in Jerusalem, where she met my grandfather - a British army officer. I remember as a child having bowls of chicken soup made by her. There were lots of interesting components, like feet and necks. ~ Jamie Cullum
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Jamie Cullum
After the battle the king can do what he likes with my head, but during the battle will he please allow me to use it? [During the battle of Zorndorf in 1758 goaded by interference of Frederick the Great of Prussia] ~ Friedrich Wilhelm Von Seydlitz
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Friedrich Wilhelm Von Seydlitz
King Frederick I of Prussia conceived the Amber Chamber in 1701 as a magnificent gift to the Russian royal family that would seal the alliance between the two powers. ~ Stephen Kinzer
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Stephen Kinzer
The political situation was becoming increasingly volatile. The Treaty of Versailles was such a sore point. It popped up in almost any conversation. Perhaps the separation from the "Reich" (what was left of the old Germany) was more intensely felt in everyday life in our province of East Prussia than in the rest of Germany. The Treaty forced Germany to accept blame for causing the First World War. It demanded that Germany disarm, give up substantial portions of land, and pay heavy reparations to countries of the victors. No other country bore the blame or brunt of the burden as heavily as Germany. Germans viewed the terms imposed by the treaty as blatantly unfair. From our perspective, Germany was drawn into the conflict through a political alliance we had with the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. We did not initiate hostilities. The fact that Europe was a political powder keg was certainly not the exclusive fault of the German Empire. I ~ Ulrich Karl Thomas
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Ulrich Karl Thomas
How far they came to perish here, these soldiers and these machines! What bizarre train of events brought youngsters from the Rhineland and Prussia, from the Scottish Highlands and London, from Australia and New Zealand, to butt at each other to the death with flame-spitting machinery in faraway Africa, in a setting as dry and lonesome as the moon?

But that is the hallmark of this war. No other war has ever been like it. This war rings the world.... Men fight as far from home as they can be transported, with courage and endurance that makes one proud of the human race, in horrible contrivances that make one ashamed of the human race. ~ Herman Wouk
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Herman Wouk
In middle school, my friends decided I was weird, and they didn't like my hair. They ditched me and talked behind my back, which is cool - I'm over it. [laughs] One time I called them and said, "Hey, do you want to go to the Berkshire Mall?" They all gave me excuses and said no. So I go to the mall with my mom, and don't you know, we run into all of them. Together. Shopping. My mom could see I was about to cry, so she said, "You know what? We're going to the King of Prussia mall," which was the mecca. ~ Taylor Swift
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Taylor Swift
Prussia is great because her people are intelligent. They know the alphabet. The alphabet is conquering the world. ~ George William Curtis
Marienburg Prussia quotes by George William Curtis
Can history disappear if it's written in blood? ~ Ruta Sepetys
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Ruta Sepetys
It has been said by a certain general, that the first object in the establishment of an army ought to be making provision for the belly, that being the basis and foundation of all operations ~ Frederick The Great
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Frederick The Great
For a century after the reign of Frederick, Prussia remained the most prominent Germanic state in Europe. ~ Kelly Miller
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Kelly Miller
Let all brave Prussians follow me! ~ Kurt Christoph Graf Von Schwerin
Marienburg Prussia quotes by Kurt Christoph Graf Von Schwerin
That in East Prussia Frederick William I tolerated the Mennonites as indispensable to industry, ~ Max Weber
