Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all.

The price of greatness is responsibility.

I am easily satisfied with the best.

You will make all kinds of mistakes; but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her.

I never worry about action, only inaction.

When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.

Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty, and so bear ourselves that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, This was their finest hour.

You can trust the Americans to do the right thing, after they have tried every other alternative.

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.

Courage is the finest of human qualities because it guarantees all the others.

Personally, I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.
