Cruel Quotations
Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves.
Albert Einstein
The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason.
Hunter S. Thompson
Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man.
Thomas Paine
The greater the state, the more wrong and cruel its patriotism, and the greater is the sum of suffering upon which its power is founded.
Leo Tolstoy
He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.

Toward no crimes have men shown themselves so cold- bloodedly cruel as in punishing differences of belief.
