Quotes by John Rupert Colville (?)

“Naval heroes are seldom immodest, but soldiers quite often are. It is said of one gallant general that publication of his book was delayed because the printer ran out of capital I's.”
― John Colville, Man Of Valour: The Life Of Field-Marshal The Viscount Gort, VC, GCB, DSO, MVO, MC

“Are we truly acting from principle and not from interest? Surely it is at least convenient that for us the two coincide.”
― John Colville, The Fringes of Power: 10 Downing Street Diaries, 1939 - 1955
