The more I see of men, the better I like my dog.
Frederick The Great
I am up and about when I am ill, and in the most appalling weather. I am on horseback when other men would be flat out on their beds, complaining. We are made for action, and activity is the sovereign remedy for all physical ills.
Frederick The Great
It is disgusting to note the increase in the quantity of coffee used by my subjects and the amount of money that goes out of the country in consequence. Everybody is using coffee. If possible, this must be prevented. My people must drink beer.

Frederick The Great
You will certainly grant me that neither antiquity nor whatever nation has devised a more repulsive and blasphemous absurdity than that of eating your God. This is the most disgusting dogma of Christian religion, the greatest insult to the Highest Being, the climax of madness and insanity.
Frederick The Great
Though I may not be a king in my future life, so much the better: I shall nevertheless live an active life and, on top of it, earn less ingratitude.
Frederick The Great
If soldiers were to begin to think, not one of them would remain in the army.
Frederick The Great
Our work is to present things that are as they are.

I have no fault to find with those who teach geometry. That science is the only one which has not produced sects it is founded on analysis and on synthesis and on the calculus it does not occupy itself with the probable truth moreover it has the same method in every country.
Frederick The Great
Great advantage is drawn from knowledge of your adversary, and when you know the measure of his intelligence and character, you can use it to play on his weakness.
