Stanley Baldwin

“What the proprietorship of these papers is aiming at is power, and power without responsibility — the prerogative of the harlot through the ages.[Baldwin was attacking the leading press barons of his day (Lord Beaverbrook and Lord Rothermere); the phrase was suggested by Baldwin's cousin Rudyard Kipling (17 March 1931)]”

“I would rather be an opportunist and float than go to the bottom with my principles around my neck.”

“War would end if the dead could return.”

“I would rather trust a woman's instinct than a man's reason.”

“A platitude is simply a truth repeated till people get tired of hearing it.”
