Some words from Sir Winston

Even fools are right sometimes. If this is a blessing, it is certainly very well disguised. It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required. If you mean to profit, learn to please. This report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read. A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. I like a man who grins when he fights. Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened. The inherent vice of capitalism is the uneven division of blessings, while the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal division of misery. He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire. We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile - hoping it will eat him last. The price of greatness is responsibility. There is nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at without result. We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.
