What A Fool I Have Been!

One Ought To Be Just Before One Is Generous

I Do Not Believe There Is The Slightest Chance Of War With Japan In Our Lifetime. The Japanese Are Our Allies.... Japan Is At The Other End Of The World. She Cannot Menace Our Vital Security In Any Way.... War With Japan Is Not A Possibility Which Any Reasonable Government Need Take Into Account.

The Chinese Said Of Themselves Several Thousand Years Ago: China Is A Sea That Salts All The Waters That Flow Into It. Theres Another Chinese Saying About Their Country Which Is Much More Modernit Dates Only From The Fourth Century. This Is The Saying: The Tail Of China Is Large And Will Not Be Wagged. I Like That One. The British Democracy Approves The Principles Of Movable Party Heads And Unwaggable National Tails. It Is Due To The Working Of These Important Forces That I Have The Honour To Be Addressing You At This Moment.

I Have In My Life Concentrated More On Self-expression Than Self-denial.

I Felt As If I Were Walking With Destiny, And That All My Past Life Had Been But A Preparation For This Hour And For This Trial... I Thought I Knew A Good Deal About It All, I Was Sure I Should Not Fail.
