Perfect solutions of our difficulties are not to be looked for in an imperfect world.
Winston Churchill
Image
And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.

Winston Churchill
Image
No folly is more costly than the folly of intolerant idealism.
Winston Churchill
Image
The Dark Ages may return-the Stone Age may return on the gleaming wings of Science and what might now shower immeasureable material blessings upon mankind may even bring about its total destruction. Beware! I say. Time may be short. Referring to the discovery of atomic energy.
Winston Churchill
Image
Science bestowed immense new powers on man, and at the same time, created conditions which were largely beyond his comprehension.
Winston Churchill
Image
From now on we shall bomb Germany on an ever-increasing scale, month by month, year by year, until the Nazi regime has either been exterminated by us or - better still - torn to pieces by the German people themselves.
Winston Churchill
Image
If I had been an Italian I am sure that I should have been whole-heartedly with you from the start to finish in your triumphant struggle against the bestial appetites and passions of Leninism.
Winston Churchill
Image
When you are winning a war almost everything that happens can be claimed to be right and wise.
Winston Churchill
Image
I have always felt that a politician is to be judged by the animosities he excites among his opponents.

Leave to the masters of art trained by a lifetime of devotion the wonderful process of picture-building and picture creation. Go out into the sunlight and be happy with what you see.
