[Mr. Attlee, then Prime Minister] the other day accused me of being party minded. Everyone would naturally be shocked if a party leader were party minded! But we are all party minded in the baffling and unhappy period between election decisions.

In the twinkling of an eye I found myself without an office, without a seat, without a party, and without an appendix.

Much might be said for and against the two-Party system. But no one can doubt that it adds to the stability and cohesion of the State. The alternation of Parties in power, like the rotation of crops, has beneficial results. Each of the two Parties has services to render in the development of the national life; and the succession of new and different points of view is a real benefit to the country.

No party can command respect which sustains this year, what it opposed last.

These political fiends are not half sick enough yet. `Party malice' and not `public good' possesses them entirely.

In great contests, each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong.
