Winston Churchill
Image
I'm finished ... I'm done. What I want above all things is to take some active part in beating the Germans ... I'd go out to the Front at once.
Winston Churchill
Image
I get my exercise being a pallbearer for those of my friends who believed in regular running and calisthenics.
Winston Churchill
Image
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
Image
When a new book appears one should read an old one.
Winston Churchill
Image
I felt as if I were walking with destiny, and that all my past life had been but a preparation for this hour and for this trial... I thought I knew a good deal about it all, I was sure I should not fail.
Winston Churchill
Image
I am certainly not one of those who need to be prodded. In fact, if anything, I am the prod.
