heart men young
A young man who isn't a socialist hasn't got a heart; an old man who is a socialist hasn't got a head.
men blood angry-man
Once blood is shed in a national quarrel reason and right are swept aside by the rage of angry men.
atheist angel years
The conventional heaven with its angels perpetually singing etc nearly drove me mad in my youth and made me an atheist for ten years. My opinion is that we shall be reincarnated.

We are fighting Germany, Austria and drink, and as far as I can see, the greatest of these three deadly foes is drink.
war believe air-power
Believe me, Germany is unable to wage war.

If you want to understand a subject promise to speak on it.
political mind retail
Neville [Chamberlain] has a retail mind in a wholesale business.
sea blood storm
What do you want to be a sailor for? There are greater storms in politics than you will ever find at sea. Piracy, broadsides, blood on the decks. You will find them all in politics.
war home army

Death is the most convenient time to tax rich people.
winning men influence-and-power
I am the last man in the world to say that the succor which is given us from America is not in itself something to rejoice at greatly. But I also say that I can see more in the knowledge that America is going to win a right to be at the conference table when the terms of peace are discussed. . . . It would have been a tragedy for mankind if America had not been there, and there with all her influence and power.
