Crush Quote by Charles de Gaulle
“War stirs in men's hearts the mud of their worst instincts. It puts a premium on violence, nourishes hatred, and gives free rein to cupidity. It crushes the weak, exalts the unworthy, and bolsters tyranny .. .Time and time again it has destroyed all ordered living, devastated hope, and put the prophets to death.”
![“Have you ever seen a dictator on a run-off ballot? [Responding to the charges of a dictatorial bent, after being forced into a run-off against the socialist François Mitterrand in the 1965 presidential elections]” quote by Charles de Gaulle](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/246/charles-de-gaulle-2714_quote_have-you-ever-seen-a-dictator-on-a-run-o_80965.jpg)
