Winston Churchill
Just as the sentence contains one idea in all its fullness, so the paragraph should embrace a distinct episode and as sentences should follow one another in harmonious sequence, so paragraphs must fit into another like the automatic couplings of railway carriages.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.
Winston Churchill
What is a fine person or a beauteous face, Unless deportment give them decent grace Blessed with all other requisites to please, To want the striking elegance of ease Awkward, embarrassed, stiff, without the skill Of moving gracefully, or standing still.
