We have a very daring and skillful opponent against us, and, may I say across the havoc of war, a great general.

I built with my own hands ... a large swimming-pool which was filtered to limpidity and could be heated to supplement our fickle sunshine.

There is more blood than paint upon these hands. All those thousands of men killed. We thought it would be a little job, and so it might have been if it had begun in the right way.

When you are going through hell, keep on going. Never never never give up.

Listing your personal milestones is like storing a pocketful of sunshine for a rainy day. Sometimes our best is simply not enough.... We have to do what is required.

We Shall come through! We cannot tell when, we cannot tell how, but we shall come through.

My mother made a brilliant impression upon my childhood life. She shone for me like the evening star.
