They have money for war but can't feed the poor.

There is no merit in putting off a war for a year if, when it comes, it is far worse or much harder to win.

I do not believe in a major war this year because the French army at present is as large as that of Germany and far more mature. But next year and the year after may carry these Dictator-ridden countries to the climax of their armament and of their domestic embarrassments. We shall certainly need to be ready then.

War is horrible, but slavery is worse, and you may be sure that the British people would rather go down fighting than live in servitude.

Everyone can see how communism rots the soul of a nation. How it makes it abject in peace and proves it abominable in war.

In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
