God for a month of power & a good shorthand writer.

Socialism is an attack on the right to breathe freely. No socialist system can be established without a political police.

To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.

We are plunged in a long and grievous struggle. But all will come right if we all work together to the end.

It is a fine game to play - the game of politics - and it is well worth waiting for a good hand before really plunging.

Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.

You don't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer.
