We must beware of trying to build a society in which nobody counts for anything except a politician or an official, a society where enterprise gains no reward and thrift no privileges

There is no limit to the ingenuity of man if it is properly and vigorously applied under conditions of peace and justice.

A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.

In my experience of large enterprises, I have found it is often a mistake to try to settle everything at once.

The statesman who yields to war fever must realise that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.

A medal glitters, but it also casts a shadow.

Painting is a companion with whom one may walk a great part of life's journey.
