Danger, if met head on, can be nearly halved

It is not given to human beings, happily for them, for otherwise life would be intolerable, to foresee or to predict to any large extent the unfolding course of events.

I feel like an aeroplane at the end of its flight, in the dusk, with the petrol running out, in search of a safe landing.

One day President Roosevelt told me that he was asking publicly for suggestions about what the war should be called. I said at once 'The Unnecessary War'.

I am not invested with dictatorial powers. If I were, I should be quite ready to dictate.

I am a sporting man. I always like to give trains and aeroplanes a fair chance of getting away.

In war it does not matter who is right, but who is left.
