We're very much "in," but not frankly in.
I wish you'd keep your eye on these things in cabinet meetings.

The English and the whole English world are ours, if we have the courtesy to take them--fleet and trade and all; and we go on pretending we are afraid of "entangling alliances." What about disentangling alliances?
We're in the game.

There's no use in letting a few wild Irish or cocky Germans scare us.

We need courtesy and frankness, and the destinies of the world will be in our hands.

They'll fall there anyhow after we are dead; but I wish to see them come, while my own eyes last.
