BY THEIR TEACHINGS KNOW THEM

We’ve shared many quotes by wise men and great leaders, but perhaps it’s time to hear what the other side (Unwise Teachers?) has to say:

It's good to trust others but, not to do so is much better. We become strong, I feel, when we have no friends upon whom to lean, or to look to for moral guidance.
- Benito Mussolini, born 1883 CE, Roman Catholic

Gratitude is a sickness suffered by dogs. I trust no one, not even myself.
- Joseph Stalin, born 1878 CE, Atheist

They are in a dilemma, they are in trouble now. Hate them and strike them.
The west need someone to tell the man who walks around with the biggest stick in the world, that that stick can`t bring down God`s house.
- Saddam Hussein, born 1937 CE, Sunni Muslim

How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think.
Humanitarianism is the expression of stupidity and cowardice.
As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice.
He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future.
It is not truth that matters, but victory.
- Adolf Hitler, born 1889 CE, Catholic

We say the name of God, but that is only habit.
The more bombers, the less room for doves of peace.
- Nikita Khrushchev, born 1894 CE, Atheist

A lie told often enough becomes the truth.
Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.
One man with a gun can control 100 without one.
- Vladamir Ilyich Lenin, born 1870 CE, no religion of record

Where the sayings of Wise Teachers are about our connectedness to all things, these men speak only of dis-connectedness. If all of us follow the admonishments of Mussolini and Stalin, no one would trust anyone. Imagine what a world that would be! Truth would be valueless, love would be impossible. History frowns on these, but at the time they were followed by millions. Don’t allow yourself to be led blindly. Be led wisely. You can know the wise by their teachings. But go carefully; you should follow the wise one’s teachings, but not the rituals, wars, or religions which grow up after him.
