2. Oskar Schindler: Stern, if this factory ever produces a shell that can actually be fired, I’ll be very unhappy
Unfortunately, world’s most profitable industry in today’s time is the arms and weapons industry. Seriously, when did we reach this far?
3. Oskar Schindler: My father was fond of saying you need three things in life – a good doctor, a forgiving priest, and a clever accountant. The first two, I’ve never had much use for.
Making money is one art, keeping it hidden from the others is another. That’s what clever accountants are for.
4. Oskar Schindler: They won’t soon forget the name “Oskar Schindler” around here. “Oskar Schindler,” they’ll say, “everybody remembers him. He did something extraordinary. He did what no one else did. He came with nothing, a suitcase, and built a bankrupt company into a major manufactory. And left with a steamer trunk, two steamer trunks, of money. All the riches of the world.”
He did make the difference and wrote his name in history forever. Oskar Schindler will be remembered for many reasons.
5. Oskar Schindler: In every business I tried, I can see now, it wasn’t me that failed. Something was missing. Even if I’d known what it was, there’s nothing I could have done about it because you can’t create this thing. And it makes all the difference in the world between success and failure.
Emilie Schindler: Luck?
Oskar Schindler: [Schindler kisses his wife’s hand and smiles] War.
Emilie Schindler: Luck?
Oskar Schindler: [Schindler kisses his wife’s hand and smiles] War.
The arms and weapons industry is flourishing because there is a WAR going on everyday. Without the war, they won’t progress. Imagine the earth is not divided into country borders, would we be still needing weapons, guns, and bullets?
6. Itzhak Stern: It’s Hebrew, it’s from the Talmud. It says, “Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.”
It all comes down to this. Save life and you save the entire world for him. Learn to save, not to kill. This movie quote makes perfect sense with the first one in this list.
