" "A battle is won by the side that is absolutely determined to win. Why did we lose the battle of Austerlitz? Our casualties were about the same as those of the French, but we had told ourselves early in the day that the battle was lost, so it was lost.

Additional quotes by Leo Tolstoy
لماذا تسقط التفاحة عندما تنضج؟ هل إن ثقلها يشدها إلى الأرض أم أن الشمس أذبلتها وهزتها الريح فأسقطتها؟ أم هل استجابت لنداء الغلام الذي نظر إليها فراقه منظرها واستهواها؟
إن السبب لا يكمن في كل ما ذكرناه.. إن التعليل الوحيد هو تفاعل في الأعضاء فنرى العالم النباتي يعزو السقوط إلى انهيار النسيج النووي بينما يعزوه الطفل إلى استجابة صلواته المتكرره لنيل التفاحة.. قديكون الاثنان على حق..

In my considered opinion, salary is payment for goods delivered and it must conform to the law of supply and demand. If, therefore, the fixed salary is a violation of this law - as, for instance, when I see two engineers leaving college together and both equally well trained and efficient, and one getting forty thousand while the other only earns two thousand , or when lawyers and hussars, possessing no special qualifications, are appointed directors of banks with huge salaries - I can only conclude that their salaries are not fixed according to the law of supply and demand but simply by personal influence. And this is an abuse important in itself and having a deleterious effect on government service.
