Winston Churchill

All was there-the programme of German resurrection, the technique of party propaganda the plan for combating Marxism the concept of a National-Socialist State the rightful position of Germany at the summit ofthe world.

Winston Churchill
Image
I should have liked to be asked to say what I knew. They always tried to ask what I did not know. When I would have willingly displayed my knowledge, they sought to expose my ignorance. This sort of treatment had only one result: I did not do well in examinations
Winston Churchill
Image
Here is a law which is above the King and which even he must not break. This reaffirmation of a supreme law and its expression in a general charter is the great work of Magna Carta and this alone justifies the respect in which men have held it

You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.

This war proceeds along its terrible path by the slaughter of infantry...I say to myself every day. What is going on while we sit here, while we go away to dinner or home to bed? Nearly, 1000 - Englishmen, Britishers, and the other is America...Everything else is swept away.
