Harold Wilson Quotes


Harold Wilson

Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you`re scared to death.

One man`s wage rise is another man`s price increase.

Given a fair wind, we will negotiate our way into the Common Market, head held high, not crawling in. Negotiations? Yes. Unconditional acceptance of whatever terms are offered us? No.

He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.
