Winston Churchill
Americans are a wonderful people: They will always do the right thing--after exhausting every other possible alternative.

Winston Churchill
Although always prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it should be postponed.
Winston Churchill
Lobbyists are the touts of protected industries.
Winston Churchill
In time of war, soldiers, however sensible, care a great deal more on some occasions about slaking their thirst than about the danger of enteric fever. Better known as typhoid, the disease is often spread by drinking contaminated water.
Winston Churchill
Are you insinuating that I am a purveyor of terminological inexactitudes?
Winston Churchill
Everybody stumbles across a golden opportunity at least once in a lifetime. Unfortunately most people just pick themselves up, dust themselves down, and walk away from it.
Winston Churchill
The malice of the wicked was reinforced by the weakness of the virtuous.
Winston Churchill
