There are two ways of getting into the Cabinet - you can crawl in or kick your way in.
Aneurin Bevan
Stand not too near the rich man lest he destroy thee - and not too far away lest he forget thee.
Aneurin Bevan
No amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
Aneurin Bevan

Aneurin Bevan
We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run down.
Aneurin Bevan
This island is made mainly of coal and surrounded by fish. Only an organizing genius could produce a shortage of coal and fish at the same time.
Aneurin Bevan
This is my truth, tell me yours.
Aneurin Bevan
I would rather be kept alive in the efficient if cold altruism of a large hospital than expire in a gush of warm sympathy in a small one.
Aneurin Bevan
I am not going to spend any time whatsoever in attacking the Foreign Secretary. If we complain about the tune, there is no reason to attack the monkey when the organ grinder is present.
Aneurin Bevan
