The people of Asia were slaves, because they had not learned how to pronounce the word 'no'.
Winston Churchill
Image
There comes into the life of every man a task for which he and he alone is uniquely suited. What a shame if that moment finds him either unwilling or unprepared for that which would become his finest hour.
Winston Churchill

I hope, sir, that I will shoot your picture on your hundredth birthday. I don't see why not, young man. You look reasonably fit and healthy.
Winston Churchill
Image
If we look to our responsibility to the generations yet unborn who will come after us, how can we fail to recognize that peace and freedom are inextricably bound up one with another and that the threat to one is a threat to both
