Winston S. Churchill
“Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.”
Winston Churchill

Edmund  Morris
“[Speaker Reed's] wit was brilliant and usually cruel... Asked to attend the funeral of a political enemy, he refused, "but that does not mean to say I do not heartily approve of it.”
Edmund Morris, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt

“Also a fan of being inscrutable, Franco once said, 'You are a the slave of what you say and the master of what you don't say.' He might have added that that approach isn't always guaranteed to work. If you attempt, for example, to be sphinx-like, mysterious and enigmatic when you get to the front of a long queue at the chip shop, you do risk being punched quite hard in the back of the head.”
Alexei Sayle, Stalin Ate My Homework

Michael   Dobbs
“Politics requires sacrifice. The sacrifice of others, of course.”
Michael Dobbs, House of Cards

Toby Frost
“You’ll slip up, just like everyone else who tries to mess with the British Empire. They all get it wrong somehow – forget some detail, make some tiny error, invade Russia – and then it’s all downhill from there.”
Toby Frost, Space Captain Smith
