More quotes by 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
That weakness in human nature which goes by the name of strength.
Peter Ustinov
Did you know that every two hours the nations of this world spend as much on armaments as they spend on the children of this world every year?

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

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

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
Irrespective of nationality, soldiers are always open to the same discomfort and to the same comradeship the world over. I'll make things easy for you if you make things easy for me. That is, after all the unwritten law of the barracks.
Peter Ustinov
Books, I don't know what you see in them. I can understand a person reading them, but I can't for the life of me see why people have to write them.
Peter Ustinov
The French and the British are such good enemies that they can't resist being friends.
Peter Ustinov
I hate being moved. I hate that man who came in. So self-righteous, so cruel. He made fun of me, that's why I cried. You never did that. You led me into temptation by your - politeness.
Peter Ustinov
