Winston Churchill: What would you like me to do? Play games? Be seen but not heard? Close my eyes and ears? Be a child forever? Must we always be ruled by old men? Doesn't every old man in politics betray the wonderful things he believed in when he was young? And by doing that, betray his country? I think there is room for a young man, many young men, in government. If I could, I would say this to young men, all over the world: Come on, you are needed more than ever now. You must take your places in life's fighting line. Twenty to twenty-five - those are the years. Don't be content with things as they are. Yes, you will make mistakes. But, as long as you are generous and true, you cannot hurt the world. Nor, even seriously distress her. She was made to be wooed and one by youth!
