I have not become the Kings First Minister in order to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire.

I pass with relief from the tossing sea of Cause and Theory to the firm ground of Result and Fact.

If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may be even a worse fate, you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.

These are not dark days: these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived.

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.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

There but for the grace of God, goes God.
