Unless some effective supranational government can be set up and brought quickly into action, the prospects of peace and human progress are dark and doubtful.
Winston Churchill
Image
Achievement is not last, disappointment is not deadly: It is the mettle to proceed with that matters.
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.
