- People forget that the greatest conqueror is he who conquers himself.
- ... A country where the man of God helps the emperor, never die. This is true.
- I don't mind whether a person is rich or poor. Once my friend, always my friend.
- Yes, I am more Russian than many others, and I will not sit still.
- I want to beat up almost all the ministers ...
- War! And I know nothing of it! This is the end of everything.
- Why hate me? Because they know that I have a strong will, and that when I was convinced of the correctness of something (and if I'm blessed Gy [Igor]), then I do not change my opinion, and that is unbearable for them.
- The big brutes, I can not name them differently.
- "All is in God's will. The deeper you look, the more you understand that this is so. All sorrows are sent us to free us from our sins or as a test of our faith, an example to others. It requires good food to make plants grow properly and the gardener, walking through His garden, wants to be pleased with His flowers. If they do not grow properly, he takes His pruning knife, and cuts, waiting for the sunshine to coax them into growth again"...
- I can not understand people who are afraid to die. I've always looked at death as a deliverance from earthly suffering.
- I prefer to die in Russia, than to be rescued by the Germans.
- What a great mystery life is - all waiting round for the birth of a human being, all awaiting the departure of a soul. Something so grand in it all and one feels how small we mortals are and how great our Heavenly Father.
- "To have such a true and devoted friend is indeed a gift of God and I thank Him daily for it".
- The psychology of the masses is a terrible thing.
- Where are we? Where have we ended up? But God will save Russia yet.
- If reward is not here, then it is there, in the other world, and this is what we live for.
- I have tried to look at it in every light... but always return to one thing. I cannot do it against my conscience. To do so would be a sin... and I should be miserable all the days of my life knowing that I had done a wrongful thing. What happiness can come from a marriage which begins without the real blessing of God?
- The way a man treats a woman is the best identification of his nobility.
- This is a hooligan movement, young people run and shout that there is no bread, simply to create excitement, along with workers who prevent others from working. If the weather were very cold they would probably all stay at home. But all this will pass and become calm if only the Duma will behave itself.
- It has been such a very short stay and I leave dear, kind Grandmama with a heavy heart.
