...shall have to learn how to keep the peace by cooperation with other great countries which have very different cultural patterns and different histories from our own. But we shall not promote the cause of international understanding by confusing our own internal problems with the great debt we owe to China, to Great Britain, and to Russia for their magnificent fight against our common enemies. If we are to live in a world of peace we must accept great responsibilities beyond our borders. But we must also find a solution of problems presented to us by modern technology at home...

These lower-bracket liabilities represent lump sums of the sort that few lower-bracket people have ever before had to raise...
...controversy between professionals and amateurs as to the wisdom of an immediate second front, doesn't anyone give thought to the fact that the entire British war machine was built after Dunkirk, and while the nation was fighting for its life ? If the Few-to-Whom-so-Many-owe-so-Much had waited for the supplies and reinforcements that they needed at that moment, Great Britain wouldn't be singing There'll Always Be an England today...
