There Is Always More Spirit In Attack

I Have Often Heard That The Outstanding Man Is He Who Thinks Deeply About A Problem, And The Next Is He Who Listens Carefully To Advice.

That Sense – The Only True Patriotism – Comes Slowly And Springs From The Heart: It Is Founded Upon Respect For The Family And Love For The Soil. Premature ‘liberty’ Of This Kind Would Have Been A Disaster: We Should Have Been Torn To Pieces By Petty Squabbles Before We Had Ever Reached Political Maturity, Which, As Things Were, As Made Possible By The Long Quiet Years Under Monarchical Government; For It Was That Government Which, As It Were, Nursed Our Strength And Enabled Us Ultimately To Produce Sound Fruit From Liberty, As Only A Politically Adult Nation Can.

Present Sufferings Seem Far Greater To Men Than Those They Merely Dread.
