When I Was Younger I Made It A Rule Never To Take Strong Drink Before Lunch. It Is Now My Rule Never To Do So Before Breakfast.

I Will Begin By Saying What Everybody Would Like To Ignore Or Forget... We Have Sustained A Total And Unmitigated Defeat... All Is Over. Silent, Mournful, Abandoned, Broken, Czechoslovakia Recedes Into The Darkness... We Are In The Presence Of A Disaster Of The First Magnitude Which Has Befallen Great Britain And France. Do Not Let Us Blind Ourselves To That... Do Not Suppose That This Is The End. This Is Only The Beginning Of The Reckoning.

When I Look Round To See How We Can Win The War, I See That There Is Only One Sure Path . . . And That Is Absolutely Devastating, Exterminating Attack By Very Heavy Bombers From This Country Upon The Nazi Homeland.

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.
