Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.
Winston Churchill
Image
With opportunity comes responsibility.
Winston Churchill
Image
My only consolation for the failure of the Dardanelles was that God wished things to be prolonged in order to sicken mankind of war, and that therefore He had interfered with a project that would have brought the war to a speedier conclusion.
Winston Churchill
Image
The Turkish Government began and ruthlessly carried out the infamous massacre and deportation of Armenians in Asia Minor. The clearance of the race from Asia Minor was about as complete as such an act, on a scale so great, could well be.
Winston Churchill
Image
Nothing will bring American sympathy along with us so much as American blood shed in the field.
Winston Churchill
Image
Preparation is - if not the key to genius - then at least the key to sounding like a genius.
