There is the solution which I respectfully offer to you in this Address to which I have given the title "The Sinews of Peace."

These two great organisations of the English-speaking democracies, the British Empire and the United States, will have to be somewhat mixed up together in some affairs for mutual and general advantage. I do not view the process with any misgivings. I could not stop it if I wished. Let it roll on full flood, inexorable, irresistible, benignant, to broader lands, and better days.

More than 80 per cent of the British casualties of the Great War were English. More than 80 per cent of the taxation is paid by the English taxpayers. We are entitled to mention these facts, and to draw authority and courage from them.

Certainly the prolonged education indispensable to the progress of society is not natural to mankind.

I shall endeavor to marshal British opinion against a course of action which would bring in my opinion the greatest evils upon the people of India, upon the people of Great Britain and upon the British Empire itself.

A medal glitters, but it also casts a shadow.

A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.
