1 " There is not one single social or economic principle or concept in the philosophy of the Russian Bolshevik which has not been realized, carried into action, and enshrined in immutable laws a million years ago by the White Ant. "
― Winston S. Churchill , Thoughts and Adventures: Churchill Reflects on Spies, Cartoons, Flying, and the Future
2 " No one can read the Burke of Liberty and the Burke of Authority without feeling that here was the same man pursuing the same ends, seeking the same ideals of society and Government, and defending them from assaults, now from one extreme, now from the other.

"

They should not eat too much. They should chew it well. "
