“The long-established and noble rule of Law, one of the greatest products of the character and tradition of British history, has suffered a deadly blow. Blackmail has become respectable.”

“A man may be a tough, concentrated, successful money-maker and never contribute to his country anything more than a horrible example.”

“It is a simple but sometimes forgotten truth that the greatest enemy to present joy and high hopes is the cultivation of retrospective bitterness.”

“Considering the company I keep in this place, that is hardly surprising.”

“I am one of the few men honest enough to say they do not understand women.”

“Never forget posterity when devising a policy. Never think of posterity when making a speech.”
