I know what I say at times is not very diplomatic.
Nikita Khrushchev

I worked at a factory owned by Germans, at coal pits owned by Frenchmen, and at a chemical plant owned by Belgians. There I discovered something about capitalists.

Let there be more corn and more meat and let there be no hydrogen bombs at all.
Nikita Khrushchev

I happened to read recently a remark by the American nuclear physicist W. Davidson, who noted that the explosion of one hydrogen bomb releases a greater amount of energy than all the explosions set off by all countries in all wars known in the entire history of mankind. And he, apparently, is right.
