Alexander Suvorov Quotes on Ethics

3 quotes

  1. It is very difficult to do one's duty. I was considered a barbarian because at the storming of the Praga 7,000 people were killed. Europe says that I am a monster. I myself have read this in the papers, but I would have liked to talk to people about this and ask them: is it not better to finish a war with the death of 7,000 people rather than to drag it on and kill 100,000.

  2. If we had not driven them into hell... hell would have swallowed us.

  3. Money is expensive during the war. Human life is more expensive. And time is the most expensive.
