- We must rediscover the habit of thinking the best of each other.

- So long as the international community consists of sovereign states, war between them remains a possibility, of which all governments have to take reasonable account.
- A common language is the most obvious binding element in any society.
- I make no apologies for any inconsistencies or contradictions in my essays. Those who do not change their minds in the course of a decade have probably stopped thinking all together.

- What is Parliament for if it is not to be a means to make ministers accountable for the services for which they are responsible.
