Greece

Sincerely, Stephen G. Miller Professor Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley ---------------------------------------------------- By birth i am a stranger to Greece; but as a man accustomed to hold dear the liberty and happiness of mankind, i would, in my present circumstances, consider myself as Greek Leicester Stanhope, 1825 ----------------------------------------------------- Historical justice forces me to admit that among all the enemies who stand against us, the Greek soldier above all, fought with the most courage. He surrendered himself only when the continuation of resistance was not possible any longer, and when he had no reason not to... However, he fought so bravely, that even his enemies can not deny their respect for him... Thus, the Greek prisoners of war were released immediately, having in mind the heroic stance of these soldiers Adolph Hitler, Reichstag, 4 May 1941 ----------------------------------------------------- If there had not been the virtue and courage of the Greeks, we do not know which the outcome of World War II would had been. Sir Winston Churchill ----------------------------------------------------- "... the Russian people will always be greatful to the Greeks for delaying the German army long enough for winter to set it, thereby giving us the precious time we needed to prepare. We Will Never Forget" Joseph Stalin ----------------------------------------------------- "... in the name of the captured yet still alive French people, France wantes to send her greetings to the Greek people who are fighting for their freedom.. the 25th March 1941 finds Greece in the peak of their heroic struggle and in the top of their glory.. Since the battle of Salamis Greece had not achieved the greatness and the glory which today it holds" Charles de Gaulle, President of the French Republic ----------------------------------------------------- For those who think that Greece today is of no importance, allow me to say that they could not had been more wrong. Modern, just like ancient Greece, has unique importance for everyone who is trying to find himself. Henry Miller, American writer ----------------------------------------------------- Greece gave the example that each one of us must follow, until the enemies of freedom, wherever in the world they may be, suffer their justified punishment. [A]ll free peoples are deeply impressed by the courage and steadfastness of the Greek nation. ...which is defending itself so valiantly. Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States ----------------------------------------------------- "The brave struggle of the people of this relatively small nation, for the right to live without interventions by dictatoric states, calls forth the respect and admiration of all the nations who love freedom." United States Congress, 3 April 1941 ---------------------------------------------------- The world is the expanding Greece and Greece is the shrinking world. Victor Hugo --------------------------------------------------- Nobody can say a word against Greek: it stamps a man at once as an educated gentleman. George Bernard Shaw ----------------------------------------------------- How can any educated person stay away from the Greeks? I have always been far more interested in them than in science. Albert Einstein----------------------------------------------------- I would prefer to be a Greek, rather than a heir apparent of a throne. Ludwig I, King of Bavaria. ----------------------------------------------------- Greece was the first of civilized nations that presented an example of what man should be. Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States. ---------------------------------------------------
