Famous quotes containing the words von and/or meyer:

    “Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war.”
    —Otto Von Bismarck (1815–1898)

    “Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
