More quotes by 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
Life was cheap in the Middle Ages. It has become cheaper since. It is only in specific battles for specific lives that our culture is put to the test, and with it our humanity.
Peter Ustinov
I think that first nights should come near the end of a play's run-as indeed, they often do.
Peter Ustinov
If Botticelli were alive today he'd be working for Vogue.
Peter Ustinov
As I grow older I find that though I think I'm saying the same things as I always did, people listen to me more.
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
I'm convinced there's a small room in the attic of the Foreign Office where future diplomats are taught to stammer.
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
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
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
The point of living, and of being an optimist, is to be foolish enough to believe the best is yet to come.
Peter Ustinov
I am just a man, not fit to do the work of God... or the Devil.
Peter Ustinov
I believe that the Jews have made a contribution to the human condition out of all proportion to their numbers: I believe them to be an immense people. Not only have they supplied the world with two leaders of the stature of Jesus Christ and Karl Marx, but they have even indulged in the luxury of following neither one nor the other.
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
If history teaches us one thing, than that history teaches us nothing.
Peter Ustinov
Toronto is a kind of New York operated by the Swiss.
Peter Ustinov
A diplomat these days is nothing but a head waiter who's allowed to sit down occasionally.
Peter Ustinov
Courage is often lack of insight, whereas cowardice in many cases is based on good information.
Peter Ustinov
The only reason I made a commercial for American Express was to pay for my American Express bill.
Peter Ustinov
If you're going to be a prisoner of your own mind, the least you can do is make sure it's well furnished.
Peter Ustinov
