Peter Ustinov
The great thing about history is that it is adaptable.
Peter Ustinov
I am just a man, not fit to do the work of God... or the Devil.
Peter Ustinov
Intelligent or not, we all make mistakes and perhaps the intelligent mistakes are the worst, because so much careful thought has gone into them.
Peter Ustinov
I am an international citizen conceived in Russia, born in England, working in Hollywood, living in Switzerland, and touring the World.
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
Did you know that the worldwide food shortage that threatens up to five hundred million children could be alleviated at the cost of only one day, only one day, of modern warfare.
Peter Ustinov
Courage is often lack of insight, whereas cowardice in many cases is based on good information.
Peter Ustinov
