As a side note: According to Wikiquote the second quote is often misattributed. — Sleafar, Aug 24 '16 at 17:24
@Sleafar Interesting. Nonetheless, when we know the kind of man Churchill was, we can understand why the latter one is the most remembered :) — IAmInPLS, Aug 25 '16 at 09:49

The quotes are:

1.

'When diplomacy ends, war begins' - Adolf Hitler

2.

'History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it' - Winston Churchill

3.

'Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don't let our people have guns. Why should we let them have ideas?' - Joseph Stalin

4.

'The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs' - Charles de Gaulle

5.

'We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future' - Franklin D. Roosevelt

They are all quotes from:

The leaders of powers in WWII (1939-45):

Adolf Hitler - Leader of the Nazi Party and Chancellor of Germany (1933-45)
Winston Churchill - Prime Minister of Great Britain (1940-45/51-55)
Joseph Stalin - Leader of the Soviet Union (1920(s) -53)
Charles de Gaulle - Leader of France (1940-44)
Franklin D. Roosevelt - US President (1933-45)

Which is why it is part of the Fortnightly Topic Challenge

number 5 :Franklin D. Roosevelt — 'We cannot always build a future for our youth, but we can always build our youth for the future – Acerfire37 Aug 24 '16 at 15:56
Not just from WWII, but from the leaders of some of the major countries involved in WWII. – Engineer Toast Aug 24 '16 at 16:13
@EngineerToast, good point – Beastly Gerbil Aug 24 '16 at 16:14
Your answer for 2 does not match the letters in the puzzle. "Because" should be "for". – hvd Aug 24 '16 at 17:16
2 may instead be "History will be kind to my frontend tower tutu." – Dewi Morgan Aug 24 '16 at 18:14
should be "people" not "enemies" according to the puzzle anyway
