"Politics is like waking up in the..." - Quote by Winston Churchill

“We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end.”

“If you go on with this nuclear arms race, all you are going to do is make the rubble bounce.”

“There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.”

“Politicians regard the public as a cow to be milked”

“No man with a genius for legislation has appeared in America. They are rare in the history of the world. There are orators, politicians, and eloquent men, by the thousand; but the speaker has not yet opened his mouth to speak who is capable of settling the much-vexed questions of the day. We love eloquence for its own sake, and not for any truth which it may utter, or any heroism it may inspire. Our legislators have not yet learned the comparative value of free trade and of freedom, of union, and of rectitude, to a nation.”

“The only way out [of international dictatorship] is to place international law above governments, which means [...] that there must be a parliament for making it, and that parliament must be constituted by means of worldwide elections in which all nations will take part.”

“I think at times of significant stress people are going to be looking for something and they don't always know exactly what it is that they're looking for and they may opt for change even if they're not entirely confident what that change will bring.”

“We sail within a vast sphere, ever drifting in uncertainty, driven from end to end. When we think to attach ourselves to any pointand to fasten to it, it wavers and leaves us; and if we follow it, it eludes our grasp, slips past us, and vanishes for ever. Nothing stays for us.”

“Something, or something awful or something wonderful was certain to happen on every day in this part of Africa.”
