Winston Churchill
There is no merit in putting off a war for a year if, when it comes, it is far worse or much harder to win.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
My mother made a brilliant impression upon my childhood life. She shone for me like the evening star.
Winston Churchill
Good night, then - sleep to gather strength for the morning. For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly on all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.
Winston Churchill
In the course of my life, I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.
Winston Churchill
The American Constitution declares 'All men are born equal.' The British Socialist Party add: 'All men must be kept equal'.
Winston Churchill
The only thing wrong with Christianity is the lack of suffering.
Winston Churchill
The maxim, Nothing prevails but perfection, may be spelled PARALYSIS.
Winston Churchill
Like other systems in decay, the Roman Empire continued to function for several generations after its vitality was sapped. For nearly a hundred years our Island was one of the scenes of conflict between a dying civilisation and lusty, famishing barbarism.
Winston Churchill
With integrity, nothing else counts. Without integrity, nothing else counts.
Winston Churchill
So long as I am acting from duty and conviction, I am indifferent to taunts and jeers. I think they will probably do me more good than harm.
