If you are young, and not liberal, then you don't have a heart. If you are old, and not conservative, then you don't have a brain.
We are all worms, but I do believe that I am a glow worm.
When you took your seat I felt as if a woman had come into my bathroom and I had only the sponge to defend myself.
We shall neither fail nor falter; we shall not weaken or tire...give us the tools and we will finish the job.
When I look back on all the worries I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which never happened.
The only guide to man is his conscience; the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions. It is very imprudent to walk through life without this shield, because we are so often mocked by the failure of our hopes and the upsetting of our calculations; but with this shield, however the fates may play, we march always in the ranks of honor.
Old expressions are the best, and short ones even better
Building slow destroyers ! One might as well breed slow race horses.
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
The future is unknowable, but the past should give us hope.
Nourish your hopes, but do not overlook realities.
Hope has returned to the hearts of scores of millions of men and women, and with that hope there burns the flame of anger against the brutal, corrupt invader ... In a dozen famous ancient States now prostrate under the Nazi yoke, the masses of the people ... await the hour of liberation ... That hour will strike, and its solemn peal will proclaim that the night is past and that the dawn has come.
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.
We shall fight in parking lots, we shall fight in empty fields and on wide streets, we shall never surrender.
