The attainment of an ideal is often the beginning of a disillusion.

A platitude is simply a truth repeated till people get tired of hearing it.

I am a man of peace. I am longing and working and praying for peace, but I will not surrender the safety and security of the British constitution. You placed me in power eighteen months ago by the largest majority accorded to any party for many, many years. Have I done anything to forfeit that confidence? Cannot you trust me to ensure a square deal to secure even justice between man and man?

Power without responsibility - the prerogative of the harlot throughout the ages.

I wish for many reasons flying had never been invented.

The attainment of an ideal is often the beginning of a disillusion.

A statesman wants courage and a statesman wants vision; but believe me, after six months' experience, he wants first, second, third and all the time - patience.
