← All quotes by Heinrich von Treitschke

3 quotes

A thousand touching traits testify to the sacred power of the love which a righteous war awakes in noble nations.

God will see to it that war always recurs as a drastic medicine for the human race.

War is elevating, because the individual disappears before the great conception of the state…. What a perversion of morality to wish to abolish heroism among men!
