The most beautiful voice in the world is that of an educated Southern woman.

An optimist sees the oportunity in every difficulty.

Let us set up a standard around which the brave and the loyal can rally.

There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.

Victory is not final. Defeat is not failure. It's all about courage.

When I warned them [the French] that Britain would fight on alone whatever they did, their generals told their Prime Minister and his divided Cabinet, In three weeks England will have her neck wrung like a chicken. Some chicken! Some neck!

I have always said that if Great Britain were defeated in war I hoped we should find a Hitler to lead us back to our rightful position among the nations. I am sorry, however, that he has not been mellowed by the great success that has attended him. The whole world would rejoice to see the Hitler of peace and tolerance, and nothing would adorn his name in world history so much as acts of magnanimity and of mercy and of pity to the forlorn and friendless, to the weak and poor.... Let this great man search his own heart and conscience before he accuses anyone of being a warmonger.
