How often in life must one be content with what one can get!

There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right and not to fear to do or say what you believe to be right. That is the only way to deserve and to win the confidence of our great people in these days of trouble.

Life can either be accepted or changed. If it is not accepted, it must be changed. If it cannot be changed, then it must be accepted.

I have not always been wrong. History will bear me out, particularly as I shall write that history myself.

I neither want it [brandy] nor need it, but I should think it pretty hazardous to interfere with the ineradicable habit of a lifetime.

We are weakened and we are tired, but we are not done yet.

We must have a better word than "prefabricated", why not "ready-made"?
