Gustav Freytag - Die Ahnen (1872)
"If Germany re-establishes her trade in the next 50 years, we shall have fought the war (WW1) in vain."
Winston Churchill interviewed by the London Times in 1919
"This is not a peace. It is an armistice for twenty years"
French marshal Ferdinand Foch on the Treaty of Versailles in 1919
"Our ideal is to round Poland off with frontiers on the Oder in the West and the Neisse in Lausatia, and to reincorporate Prussia, from the Pregel to the Spree. In this war no prisoners will be taken, there will be no room for humanitarian feelings. We shall surprise the whole world in our war with Germany."
Polish newspaper Mosarstwowiecz (1930), three years before Hitler's rise to power.

I own an old King James bible my mum obtained in Sunday school in the 60's
"Free, do you call yourself? Then I would hear your ruling thought, and not merely that you have escaped from a yoke. Are you one of those who had the right to escape from a yoke? Many a one has cast away his last worth when he has cast away his servitude. Free from what? What does that matter to Zarathustra! But your fiery eyes should tell me: free for what?" - Thus Spoke Zarathustra

I got a new old book.(funneh, eh?)
First American edition of Oswald Spengler's The Decline of the West (Volume I)(1926).
***
I Danmark er jeg født, dér har jeg hjemme,
der har jeg rod, derfra min verden går.
Du danske sprog, du er min moders stemme,
så sødt velsignet du mit hjerte når.
Du danske, friske strand,
hvor oldtids kæmpegrave
står mellem æblegård og humlehave.
Dig elsker jeg!
Danmark, mit fædreland!

"Lesebuch für das 2. Schuljahr der Volksschulen". I can guess it was published before 1901.
But dearer to me is the brochure "Lemantar pierachodny z łacinicy na kirylicu" (Primer transitional from Latin to Cyrillic script) (1942) written by
Dr. Jan Stankievič

Your books aren't that old.
Possibly the oldest book I own is Every Man His Own Farrier Containing Ten Minutes' Advice How To Buy A Horse. To Which is Added Directions How to Use Your Horse at Home or on a Journey; and What Remedies are Proper for All the Diseases to Which He is Liable. published in Philadelphia by Leary and Getz in 1853.
Maybe I have an older one, but that's the one I'm looking at right now.
Here's the 1860 edition (it's basically the same): http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/87562#7
