Henri Dunant Zitate und Sprüche

„Ich wünsche zu Grabe getragen zu werden wie ein Hund, ohne eine einzige von euren Zeremonien, die ich nicht anerkenne. Ich rechne auf eure Güte zuversichtlich, über meinen letzten irdischen Wunsch zu wachen. Ich zähle auf eure Freundschaft, dass es so geschehe. Ich bin ein Jünger Christi wie im ersten Jahrhundert, und sonst nichts.“

Henri Dunant

“I was a mere tourist with no part whatever in this great conflict; but it was my rare privilege, through an unusual train of circumstances, to witness the moving scenes that I have resolved to describe. In these pages I give only my personal impressions; so my readers should not look here for specific details, nor for information on strategic matters; these things have their place in other writings.”

“In one of the Cremona hospitals, an Italian doctor had said: "We keep the good things for our friends of the Allied Army, and give our enemies the bare necessities. If they die, so much the worse!" and he added, to excuse these barbarous words, that he had heard from some Italian soldiers who had returned from Verona and Mantua, that the Austrians allowed the wounded of the Franco-Sardinian army to die uncared for. A noble lady of Cremona, Countess…, who had heard the doctor's words and had been devoting herself to the hospitals with the utmost zeal, made haste to show her disapproval by declaring that she gave exactly the same attention to the Austrians as to the Allies, and made no difference between friends and enemies. "For, she said, "Our Lord Jesus Christ made no such distinctions between men in well doing."”
