History is often not what actually happened but what is recorded as such.

History knows no greater display of courage than that shown by the people of the Soviet Union.

The only deadly sin I know is cynicism.

There has been growing quite a strain of irritating feeling between our government and the Russians and it seems to me that it is a time for me to use all the restraint I can on these other people who have been apparently getting a little more irritated.

Hope is the mainspring of life.
