Our cock won't fight. - Max Aitken, 1st Baron Beaverbrook

George Sylvester Viereck: Do you care much for money or for power?
Beaverbrook: For neither in itself. I like activity, to wrestle with life and to beat it, to dare and win. I made my first million before I was thirty.
Viereck: But having achieved so much, what keeps you going? Why do you spend yourself, your vitality, in politics and in business?
Beaverbrook: To escape boredom.

They are a crowd of little Englanders, anti-Navy and Army fellows, who agitate for universal peace based on the love of God. It is a very devout policy, but unfortunately God is on the side of the big warships.

Evelyn Wrench: What is the biggest thing you have ever done?
Beaverbrook: The destruction of the Asquith Government which was brought about by an honest intrigue. If the Asquith Government had gone on, the country would have gone down.
