A man whose whole life is governed by moral principle has a constituency in the judgment of all honest people and may be said to represent mankind rather than a party.

Even a cynical opportunist like Lord Beaconsfield had to confess, "So much more than the world imagines is done by personal influence." Mr.Churchill has not convinced the world of this possession.

He carries great guns, but his navigation is uncertain, and the flag he flies is not a symbol which stirs the blood.

His effect on men is one of interest and curiosity, not of admiration and loyalty.

His power is the power of gifts, not character.
