[The Balkans] produce more history than they can consume.
Winston Churchill
Image
No one ever came to grief-except honorable grief-through riding horses. No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. Young men have often been ruined through owning horses, or through backing horses, but never through riding them unless of course they break their necks, which, taken at a gallop, is a very good death to die.

Winston Churchill
Image
We must build a kind of United States of Europe.
Winston Churchill

A day away from Chartwell is a day wasted.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is not open to the cool bystander . . . to set himself up as an impartial judge of events which would never have occurred had he outstretched a helping hand in time.
Winston Churchill
Image
The only traditions of the Royal Navy are rum, sodomy and the lash.
Winston Churchill
Image
No two on earth in all things can agree. All have some daring singularity.
Winston Churchill
Image
Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself, believe.
