When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.

Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.

We shall go forward together. The road upwards is stony. There are upon our journey dark and dangerous valleys through which we have to make and fight our way. But it is sure and certain that if we persevere - and we shall persevere - we shall come through these dark and dangerous valleys into a sunlight broader and more genial and more lasting than mankind has ever known.

Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.

As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us.

We must not lose our faculty to dare, particularly in dark days.

Our future is in our hands. Our lives are what we choose to make them.
