Harold Macmillan to James Callaghan

"There are three classes which needs sanctuary more than others - birds, wild flowers and Prime Ministers."

"There are two supreme pleasures in life. One is ideal, the other real. The ideal is when a man receives the seals of office from his Sovereign. The real pleasure comes when he hands them back."
