“He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire."[On British Labour politician Stafford Cripps.]”

“There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues, the most dominating virtues of human, are created, strengthened and maintained.”

“Without courage all other virtues lose their meaning.”

“The British nation is unique in this respect: they are the only people who like to be told how bad things are, who like to be told the worst.”

“When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened”

“The world today is ruled by harassed politicians absorbed in getting into office or turning out the other man so that not much room is left for debating the great issues on their merits”

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
