More quotes by Oswald Mosley

A prophet or an achiever must never mind an occasional absurdity; it is an occupational risk.

Great men of action never mind on occasion being ridiculous; in a sense it is part of their job.

If you love our country you are national, and if you love our people you are a socialist.

That consecrated combination of private interests and public plunders.

Together in Britain we have lit a flame that the ages shall not extinguish. Guard that sacred flame, my brother Blackshirts, until it illuminates Britain and lights again the paths of mankind.
