Civilization is a conspiracy. Modern life is the silent compact of comfortable folk to keep up pretences.
John Buchan
The task of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there.
John Buchan
But some love not the method of your first; Romance they count it, throw't away as dust; If I should meet with such, what should I say; Must I slight them as they slight me, or nay
John Buchan
