Apples shouldn't be picked when they're green, need patience and wait they're no longer warriors, they're scavengers, rubbish pickers I'll take to the streets and pick the soldiers I find who aren't drunk and let them take your place . Russian women, they are the lice on the conquerors, they must follow or die. Attack, the word "attack" is always on the lips. Ladies and gentlemen, they are invading our country like locusts. Nothing was left, no food, no shelter. Now they're going back the same way. through desolate places of their own making. Cold and hungry army. Two thousand miles from home. Doing what every Russian wishes. Get out of our country as fast as possible. This country is destroying them. For what? I don't want to trade one Russian soldier for ten Frenchmen. Those retreats, which have destroyed the French army, will come again for the liberation of our country. The animal was running, and we would follow it, flicking its hip with the whip to motivate it to keep going. We will follow it to our borders. We will build a golden bridge for the French to the west. All lone ones will be shot, get up and get back to the team. Get up and keep walking. He doesn't want to be behind, it's a game for him. His saber is a toy. You're like this house, you've been through hardships and scarred, but you're still standing. The hardest but most important thing is to love life, even when suffering, because life is everything, life is God, and to love life is to love God. Excerpted from Tolstoy's "War and Peace", let all kind people walk together hand in hand, let them raise the banner of truth, goodness and beauty, and seek happiness for the world together. Ideas that have had a huge impact are often extremely simple. My whole thought was this: if there is a force that can be formed by the gathering of immoral people, so should the righteous, simple as that. ——【Russian】Leo Tolstoy, "War and Peace"
