More quotes by Anthony Eden
Anthony's father was a mad baronet and his mother a very beautiful woman. That's Anthony-half mad baronet, half beautiful woman.
Anthony Eden
Our quarrel is not with Egypt, still less with the Arab world. It is with Colonel Nasser. He has shown that he is not a man who can be trusted to keep an agreement. Now he has torn up all his country's promises to the Suez Canal Company and has even gone back on his own statements.
Anthony Eden
Corruption never has been compulsory.
Anthony Eden
We are not at war with Egypt. We are in an armed conflict.
Anthony Eden
Responding to the question If Mr. Stalin dies, what will be the effect on international affairs? That is a good question for you to ask, not a wise question for me to answer.
Anthony Eden
I am one of a rare breed of true politicians who definitely say what they may or may not mean with absolute certainty.
Anthony Eden
The free world has need that its foreign policies should fairly measure the realities of the world in which we live. There are certain principles to which we hold: the sanctity of treaties, good faith between nations, the interdependence of peoples from which no country, however powerful, can altogether escape.
Anthony Eden
There is now doubt in our minds that Nasser, whether he likes it or not, is now effectively in Russian hands, just as Mussolini was in Hitler's. It would be as ineffective to show weakness to Nasser now in order to placate him as it was to show weakness to Mussolini.
Anthony Eden
Man should be master of his environment, not its slave. That is what freedom means.
Anthony Eden
All prejudices are equally fatal to good government.
Anthony Eden
Long experience has told me that to be criticized is not always to be wrong.
Anthony Eden
Drift is the demon of democracy.
Anthony Eden
No democratic world will work as it should work until we recognize that we can only enjoy any right so long as we are prepared to discharge its equivalent duty. This applies just as much to states in their dealing with one another as to individuals within the states.
Anthony Eden
Nothing is more destructive of human dignity than a rule which imposes a mute and blind obedience.
Anthony Eden
The worst of being sacked is you can never find your car.
Anthony Eden
The more the planners, the worse the plans.
Anthony Eden
Everyone is always in favour of general economy and particular expenditure.
Anthony Eden
If you've broken the eggs, you should make the omelette.
Anthony Eden
We have many times led Europe in the fight for freedom. It would be an ignoble end to our long history if we tamely accepted to perish by degrees.
Anthony Eden
If we had allowed things to drift, everything would have gone from bad to worse. Nasser would have become a kind of Moslem Mussolini, and our friends in Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and even Iran would gradually have been brought down. His efforts would have spread westwards, and Libya and North Africa would have been brought under his control.
Anthony Eden
