Winston Churchill
When you're 20 you care what everyone thinks, when you're 40 you stop caring what everyone thinks, when you're 60 you realize no one was ever thinking about you in the first place. You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Winston Churchill
Life is a test and this world a place of trial. Always the problems - or it may be the same problem - will be presented to every generation in different forms.
Winston Churchill
Never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
Winston Churchill
I get my exercise being a pallbearer for those of my friends who believed in regular running and calisthenics.
Winston Churchill
No compromise with the main purpose no peace till victory no pact with unrepentant wrong.
Winston Churchill
My ability to persuade my wife to marry me was quite my most brilliant achievement ... Of course, it would have been impossible for any ordinary man to have got through what I had to go through in peace and war without the devoted aid of what we call, in England, one's better half.
Winston Churchill
Please put the ladybug outside without harming her. (to his butler)
Winston Churchill
[Much] as war attracts me and fascinates my mind with its tremendous situations, I feel more deeply every year . . . what vile and wicked folly and barbarism it all is.
Winston Churchill
Science unfolded her treasures and her secrets to the desperate demands of men, and placed in their hands agencies and apparatus almost decisive in their character. Reflecting on the outcome of World War I, and an ominous future.
Winston Churchill
