We are bound to be ready; it would be a crime not to be ready--a crime against the Fatherland.

We love peace, but the peace-lovers are just those who in war are most terrible.

For who are the backbone of war when war comes?
The women of the country, my friend, not the ministers, not the generals and the admirals.

I don't say they make war, but when war is made they are the spirit of it, because, more than men, they love their homes.

There is not a woman in Germany who will not send forth brother and husband and father and child, should the day come.
