More quotes by Peter Ustinov
What is education but a process by which a person begins to learn how to learn?
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
I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter.
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
Toronto is a kind of New York operated by the Swiss.
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
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
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
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
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
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
Artificial glamor-false eyelashes, that sort of thing-usually is put on to hide a vacuum. The most beautiful face can only look vacuous if it masks an empty head.
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
World Government is not only possible, it is inevitable and when it comes, it will appeal to patriotism in its truest sense,in its only sense, the patriotism of humans who love their national heritages so deeply that they wish to preserve them in safety for the common good.
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
By increasing the size of the keyhole, today's playwrights are in danger of doing away with the door.
Peter Ustinov
Sometimes I wish I could just fall in love. Then, at least you know who your opponent is.
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
At the age of four with paper hats and wooden swords we're all Generals. Only some of us never grow out of it.
Peter Ustinov
