The stations of uncensored expression are closing down the lights are going out but there is still time for those to whom freedom and parliamentary government mean something, to consult together. Let me, then, speak in truth and earnestness while time remains.
Winston Churchill

When one is in office one has no idea how damnable things can feel to the ordinary rank and file of the public.
Winston Churchill
Image
How little can we foresee the consequences either of wise or unwise action, of virtue or of malice. Without this measureless and perpetual uncertainty, the drama of human life would be destroyed.

I trust and believe that this College, this seed that we have sown, will grow to shelter and nurture generations who may add most notably to the strength and happiness of our people, and to the knowledge and peaceful progress of the world. 'The mighty oak from an acorn towers A tiny seed can fill a field with flowers.'

Winston Churchill
Image
The greatest advances in human civilization have come when we recovered what we had lost: when we learned the lessons of history.
Winston Churchill

I have worked very hard with Nehru. I told him he should be the light of Asia, to show all those mil­lions how they can shine out, instead of accept­ing the dark­ness of Com­mu­nism.
Winston Churchill
Image
Before the war it had seemed incredible that such terrors and slaughters, even if they began, could last more than a few months. After the first two years it was difficult to believe that they would ever end.
Winston Churchill
Image
The people of Asia were slaves, because they had not learned how to pronounce the word 'no'.
Winston Churchill
Image
Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge. Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words when short are best of all.
Winston Churchill
Image
If I stay on for the time being, bearing the burden at my age, it is not because of love for power or office. I have had an ample share of both. If I stay it is because I have a feeling that I may, through things that have happened, have an influence about what I care about above all else, the building of a sure and lasting peace.

Let us reconcile ourselves to the mysterious rhythm of our destinies, such as they must be in this world of space and time.
