Danger: if you meet it promptly and without flinching you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!

We must not lose our faculty to dare, particularly in dark days.

Danger gathers upon our path. We cannot afford-we have no right-to look back. We must look forward.

One must never forget when misfortunes come that it is quite possible they are saving one from something much worse; or that when you make some great mistake, it may very easily serve you better than the best-advised decision.

There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right and not to fear to do or say what you believe to be right. That is the only way to deserve and to win the confidence of our great people in these days of trouble.

People who are not prepared to do unpopular things and defy the clamor of the multitude are not fit to be ministers in time of difficulty.
