Tony Benn
  • All war represents a failure of diplomacy.

  • A faith is something you die for, a doctrine is something you kill for. There is all the difference in the world.

  • We are not just here to manage capitalism but to change society and to define its finer values.

  • It's the same each time with progress. First they ignore you, then they say you're mad, then dangerous, then there's a pause and then you can't find anyone who disagrees with you.

  • All war represents a failure of diplomacy.
