"Hatred plays the same part in government..." - Quote by Winston Churchill

“We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.”

“Here was a place where real things were going on. Here was a scene of vital action. Here was a place where anything might happen. Here was a place where something would certainly happen. Here I might leave my bones.”

“I accumulated in those years so fine a surplus in the Book of Observance that I have been drawing confidently upon it ever since.”

“Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty.”

“Nearly forty years ago, a distinguished Prime Minister of this country ... said, 'They may not be angels but they are at least our friends.'* I must say that I do not think that we probably demonstrated in that forty years that we are angels yet, but I hope we have demonstrated that we are at least friends.”

“Politics is a pendulum whose swings between anarchy and tyranny are fueled by perennially rejuvenated illusions.”

“True ahimsa should mean a complete freedom from ill-will and anger and hate and an overflowing love for all.”

“Thou art a boil, a plague sore, an embossed carbuncle in my corrupted blood.”

“Affection is important because it counters anger, hatred and suspicion that can prevent our minds from functioning clearly.”
