Quotes

  • There comes a point when a man must refuse to answer to his leader if he is also to answer to his own conscience.
  • We are the masters at the moment and shall be for some considerable time.
  • Let us not foist this humbug on the world.
  • All my moves were designed to promote the happiness and wellbeing of my family, rather than fame.
  • I know that in my public life I fell below the standards that I had set myself... I have seen what is wrong but not done enough to put it right. I have been more critical than correct. I have had opportunities of great positions in the service of the state, but I have put them aside. I know that I have not devoted myself enough to promoting the good of others.
  • I feel that I've had a happy life, not a very useful life, but a happy one.
