"Pass the Bread", baccalaureate address at Hamilton College (20 May 2006), as quoted in Moyers on Democracy (2008), p. 385<!-- italics in source -->
Context: All my life I've prayed the Lord's Prayer, but I've never prayed, "Give me this day my daily bread." It is always, "Give us this day our daily bread." Bread and life are shared realities. They do not happen in isolation. Civilization is an unnatural act. We have to make it happen, you and I, together with all the other strangers.
Speech given at Harrow School, Harrow, England, October 29, 1941. Quoted in Churchill by Himself (2008), ed. Langworth, PublicAffairs, 2008, p. 23

Context: Never give in — never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
As quoted in Martin Niemöller, 1892-1984 (1984) by James Bentley, p. 223
“A good politician is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar.”
“Riches are chiefly good because they give us time.”
cited in A Little Book of Aphorisms (New York: 1947), p. 186.
“Me pray? Never! I'm an atheist.”
As quoted in What Great Men Think of Religion (1945) by Ira D Cardiff
