Less Quotations
We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter.
Winston Churchill
The problems of victory are more agreeable than those of defeat, but they are no less difficult.
Winston Churchill
Really I feel less keen about the Army every day. I think the Church would suit me better.
Winston Churchill
If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business.
Abraham Lincoln

Mother Teresa
There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life's sores the better.
Oscar Wilde
If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.
Oscar Wilde
There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.
