A politician is a person with whose politics you don't agree; if you agree with him he's a statesman.

A young man who isn't a socialist hasn't got a heart; an old man who is a socialist hasn't got a head.

Diplomats were invented simply to waste time.

He has sat on the fence so long that the iron has entered his soul.

Liberty has restraints but no frontiers.

We are muddled into war.

Lloyd George knew my father my father knew Lloyd George.

Laws are silent in times of war.

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?
I learned that Washington never told a lie
I learned that soldiers seldom die
I learned that everybody's free
That's what the teacher said to me
And that's what I learned in school today
That's what I learned in school

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?
I learned that policemen are my friends
I learned that justice never ends
I learned that murderers die for their crimes
Even if we make a mistake sometimes
And that's what I learned in school today
That's what I learned in school

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?
I learned that war is not so bad
I learned about the great ones we have had
We fought in Germany and in France
And someday I might get my chance
And that's what I learned in school today
That's what I learned in school

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?
I learned that our government must be strong
It's always right and never wrong
Our leaders are the finest men
So we elect them again and again
And that's what I learned in school today
That's what I learned in school
