[T]here can never be peace without its essential elements of liberty, justice, and independence.

Theatre Royal Drury Lane

1914 – 1918

Actors, musicians, writers and workers for the stage
Who have given their lives for their country
Honour to the immortal dead that great white company of shining souls
Who gave their youth that the world might grow old in peace

These nobly played their parts these heard the call
For god and king and home they gave their all
Since ye who pass in quest of happy hours
Behold the price at which those hours were bought
Strew here the fragrance of memorial flowers a silent tribute of a grateful thought

...every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face--that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender.

And he walked away from his party, and he never returned to the day he died....

No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.

Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so.

They ... knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy.

Senator Clark of Pennsylvania ... defines liberalism as "meeting the material needs of the masses through the full power of centralized government." Well, I for one resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me--the free man and woman of this country--as "the masses."

We must go forth from here united, determined that what a great general said a few years ago is true: There is no substitute for victory....
