More quotes by Peter Ustinov
Love is an act of endless forgiveness. It means forget inconvenient duties, then forgive yourself for forgetting. By rigid practice and stern determination, it comes easy.
Peter Ustinov
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov
Courage is often lack of insight, whereas cowardice in many cases is based on good information.
Peter Ustinov
Basically I'm a very serious person, but I think the form it takes with me is comedy. I see the amusing side of all potentially pompous situations.
Peter Ustinov
There is no question but that if Jesus Christ, or a great prophet from another religion, were to come back today, he would find it virtually impossible to convince anyone of his credentials despite the fact that the vast evangelical machine on American television is predicated on His imminent return among us sinners.
Peter Ustinov
The point of living, and of being an optimist, is to be foolish enough to believe the best is yet to come.
Peter Ustinov
Two members of my profession who are not urgently needed by my profession, Mr. Ronald Reagan and Mr. George Murphy, entered politics, and they've done extremely well. Since there has been no reciprocal tendency in the other direction, it suggests to me that our job is still more difficult than their new one.
Peter Ustinov
Pavarotti is not vain, but conscious of being unique.
Peter Ustinov
The only reason I made a commercial for American Express was to pay for my American Express bill.
Peter Ustinov
Her virtue was that she said what she thought, her vice that what she thought didn't amount to much.
Peter Ustinov
We used to have lots of questions to which there were no answers. Now, with the computer, there are lots of answers to which we haven't thought up questions.
Peter Ustinov
If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can't be done.
Peter Ustinov
Contrary to general belief, I do not believe that friends are necessarily the people you like best, they are merely the people who got there first.
Peter Ustinov
It is youth that has discovered love as a weapon.
Peter Ustinov
I have four children which is not bad considering I'm not a Catholic.
Peter Ustinov
British education is probably the best in the world, if you can survive it. If you can't there is nothing left for you but the diplomatic corps.
Peter Ustinov
I think that first nights should come near the end of a play's run-as indeed, they often do.
Peter Ustinov
I had started by imitating a parrot, which is unusual, in that a parrot is supposed to imitate you. By taking the initiative you allow the parrot no alternative but to be itself, which proves again that attack is often the best defence.
Peter Ustinov
I'm convinced there's a small room in the attic of the Foreign Office where future diplomats are taught to stammer.
Peter Ustinov
People are annoyed with the Chinese for not respecting more human rights. But with a population that size it's very difficult to have the same attitude to human rights.
Peter Ustinov
