"Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“To lapse in fulness Is sorer than to lie for need, and falsehood Is worse in kings than beggars.”

“Never shame to hear what you have nobly done”

“A turn or two I'll walkTo still my beating mind.”

“Charm is a way of getting the answer 'Yes' without asking a clear question.”

“Whoever wants his judgment to be believed, should express it coolly and dispassionately; for all vehemence springs from the will. And so the judgment might be attributed to the will and not to knowledge, which by its nature is cold.”

“Brave people may be persuaded to an action by representing it as being more dangerous than it really is.”

“The brash unbridled tongue, the lawless folly of fools, will end in pain. But the life of wise content is blest with quietness, escapes the storm and keeps its house secure.”

“I was very glad that Mr. Attlee described my speeches in the war as expressing the will not only of Parliament but of the whole nation. Their will was resolute and remorseless and, as it proved, unconquerable. It fell to me to express it, and if I found the right words you must remember that I have always earned my living by my pen and by my tongue. It was a nation and race dwelling all round the globe that had the lion heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.”

“A word too much always defeats its purpose.”
