Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
Image
If you're going to walk through hell, keep going.
Winston Churchill
Image
If one has to submit, it is wasteful not to do so with the best grace possible.
Winston Churchill
Image
Doubts could be swept away only by deeds.
Winston Churchill
Image
Courage is rightly considered the foremost of the virtues, for upon it all others depend.
Winston Churchill
Image
Democracy is a very bad form of government ... but all the others are so much worse.
Winston Churchill
Image
One may imagine that a man who blew the trumpet for his living would be glad to play the violin for his amusement.
Winston Churchill
Image
If I was your wife Sir, I'd poison you! Madam, if you were my wife, I'd let you!
Winston Churchill
Image
The lights of Saxon England were going out, and in the gathering darkness a gentle, grey-beard prophet foretold the end. When on his death-bed Edward spoke of a time of evil that was coming upon the land his inspired mutterings struck terror into the hearers.
Winston Churchill
Image
How fortunate it was for the world that when these great trials came upon it there was a generation that terror could not conquer and brutal violence could not enslave.
