Winston Churchill
Image
It is one thing to see the forward path and another to be able to take it. But it is better to have an ambitious plan than none at all.
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
Winston Churchill
Image
I accumulated in those years so fine a surplus in the Book of Observance that I have been drawing confidently upon it ever since.
Winston Churchill
Image
You must sleep sometime between lunch and dinner, and no halfway measures. Take off your clothes and get into bed. That's what I always do.
Winston Churchill
Image
Painting is the same kind of problem as unfolding a long, sustained interlocked argument... It is a proposition commanded by a single unity of conception.
Winston Churchill
Image
I have lived seventy-eight years without hearing of bloody places like Cambodia.
