This Beginning With Audacity, Or Being Thrown

If We Could Get Out Of This Jam By Giving Up Malta And Gibraltar And Some African Colonies I Would Jump At It. But The Only Safe Way Is To Convince Hitler That He Cannot Beat Us.

My Only Consolation For The Failure Of The Dardanelles Was That God Wished Things To Be Prolonged In Order To Sicken Mankind Of War, And That Therefore He Had Interfered With A Project That Would Have Brought The War To A Speedier Conclusion.

What Is The Use Of Living, If It Be Not To Strive For Noble Causes And To Make This Muddled World A Better Place For Those Who Will Live In It After We Are Gone?

The Enemy Is Still Proud And Powerful. He Is Hard To Get At. He Still Possesses Enormous Armies, Vast Resources, And Invaluable Strategic Territories...no One Can Tell What New Complications And Perils Might Arise In Four Or Five More Years Of War. And It Is In The Dragging-out Of The War At Enormous Expense, Until The Democracies Are Tired Or Bored Or Split That The Main Hopes Of Germany And Japan Must Reside.

I Have Always Said That If Great Britain Were Defeated In War I Hoped We Should Find A Hitler To Lead Us Back To Our Rightful Position Among The Nations. I Am Sorry, However, That He Has Not Been Mellowed By The Great Success That Has Attended Him. The Whole World Would Rejoice To See The Hitler Of Peace And Tolerance, And Nothing Would Adorn His Name In World History So Much As Acts Of Magnanimity And Of Mercy And Of Pity To The Forlorn And Friendless, To The Weak And Poor.... Let This Great Man Search His Own Heart And Conscience Before He Accuses Anyone Of Being A Warmonger.
