More quotes by Allen Drury
. . .nothing is more important than freedom. Nothing is more sacred than freedom. Nothing is greater than freedom. Nothing. . .can be permitted to stand in the way of freedom. Freedom. . .is all that makes men great. It is all men have to live for. Without freedom, what good is life?
Allen Drury
Be kind, be decent, be generous, be tolerant, compassionate, and understanding. Be fast to praise, slow to judge. Remember, we're all human, and don't cast the first stone.
Allen Drury
Florey was not an easy personality. His drive and ambition were manifest from the day he arrived ... He could be ruthless and selfish on the other hand, he could show kindliness, a warm humanity and, at times, sentiment and a sense of humour.
Allen Drury
