"Any clever person can make plans for..." - Quote by Winston Churchill

“Books, in all their variety, offer the human intellect the means whereby civilisation may be carried triumphantly forward.”

“I play for high stakes and given an audience - there is no act too daring or too noble.”

“When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.”

“If you think too much about being re-elected, it is very difficult to be worth re-electing.”

“No leader, however great, can long continue unless he wins battles. The battle decides all.”

“No institution will be better than the institutor.”

“If there ever was a pursuit which stultified itself by its very conditions, it is the pursuit of pleasure as the all-sufficing end of life. Happiness cannot come to any man capable of enjoying true happiness unless it comes as the sequel to duty well and honestly done. To do that duty you need to have more than one trait. From the greatest to the smallest, happiness and usefulness are largely found in the same soul, and the joy of life is won in its deepest and truest sense only by those who have not shirked life's burdens.”

“With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking his blessing and his help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.”

“It has therewith come to be recognized that the history of moral valuations is at the same time the history of an error, the error of responsibility, which is based upon the error of the freedom of will.”
