I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favour of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory gas.

Apt analogies are among the most formidable weapons of the rhetorician.

War is horrible, but slavery is worse.

Beware of driving men to desperation. Even a cornered rat is dangerous.

The vistas of possibility are only limited by the shortness of life.

Who is not liberal when young, does not have a heart. Who is not conservative when old, does not have a brain.

We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out.
