Winston Churchill
Image
When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite.
Winston Churchill
Image
Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong - these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.
Winston Churchill
Image
Any idiot can see something wrong. But can you see what is right?
Winston Churchill
Image
Danger gathers upon our path. We cannot afford - we have no right - to look back. We must look forward...

I am your servant. You have the right to dismiss me when you please. What you have no right to do is ask me to bear responsibility without the power of action.
Winston Churchill
Image
Don't give your sons money. Give them horses. Many a good son has been ruined through the acquisition of money but no good son has been ruined through the acquisition of horses. Unless they fell and broke their neck, which when taken at the gallop is a very good death to die.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is never possible to guarantee success, it is only possible to deserve it.
Winston Churchill
Image
True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.
Winston Churchill
Image
A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.
Winston Churchill
Image
A vocabulary of truth and simplicity will be of service throughout your life.
Winston Churchill

I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.
Winston Churchill

Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.
