Winston Churchill
Image
I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is not given to princes, statesmen and captains to pierce the mysteries of the future, and even the most penetrating gaze reaches only conclusions which, however seemingly vindicated at a given moment, are inexorably effaced by time.
Winston Churchill
Image
There is not much collective security in a flock of sheep on the way to the butcher.
Winston Churchill
Image
You must look at facts, because they look at you.
Winston Churchill
Image
Sir, we must beware of needless innovation, especially when guided by logic.
Winston Churchill
Image
Everyone threw the blame on me ... they nearly always do. I suppose ... they think I shall be able to bear it best.
Winston Churchill
Image
If a woman has It, she doesn't need anything else but if she doesn't have It, it doesn't matter what else she has.
Winston Churchill
Image
If Europe were once united in the sharing of its common inheritance there would be no limit to the happiness, the prosperity, and the glory which its three or four million people would enjoy.
