“To be conservative at 20 is heartless and to be a liberal at 60 is plain idiocy.”

“Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.”

“The enemy is still proud and powerful. He is hard to get at. He still possesses enormous armies, vast resources, and invaluable strategic territories...No one can tell what new complications and perils might arise in four or five more years of war.

“If you want to know who we are, who America is, how we respond to evil-that's it: selflessly, compassionately, unafraid.”

“England is a nation of shopkeepers.”

“I think perhaps we manage our revolutions much more quietly in this country.”

“I speak a number of languages, but none are more beautiful to me than English.”

“The fight against bad English is not frivolous.”

“Thus I got into my bones the essential structure of the ordinary British sentence, which is a noble thing.”
