A small lie needs a bodyguard of bigger lies to protect it.

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

Where my reason, imagination or interest were not engaged, I would not or I could not learn.

The world, nature, human beings, do not move like machines. The edges are never clear-cut, but always frayed. Nature never draws a line without smudging it.

I am convinced that there is no smarter, handier, or more adaptable body of troops in the world.

Never give in, never give in, never give in.

It is better to be making the news than taking it, to be an actor rather than a critic.
