William Mulock

"Watch every tendency towards militarism, for we know that preparation for war leads to war."

"A man feels impelled to do something to keep awake."

"I'm still at work with my hand to the plough and my face to the future. The shadows of evening … lengthen about me but morning is in my heart. … the testimony I bear is this: that the castle of enchantment is not yet behind me, it is before me still and daily I catch glimpses of its battlements and towers. The best of life is always further on. The real lure is hidden from our eyes, somewhere behind the hills of time."

"I did my own thinking … I have never given it out to be done by others as one gives out washing."

"We need tolerant men. We must all give in a little."

"I'm not in the habit of looking back - I leave that till I get old."

"Will probably go down to posterity as 'The man who did.'"
