Winston Churchill
Image
...Have the stresses of war been as bad to you personally as carrying through the policy of Collective Farms?
Winston Churchill

We shall defend every village, every town and every city. The vast mass of London itself, fought street by street, could easily devour an entire hostile army and we would rather see London laid in ruins and ashes than that it should be tamely and abjectly enslaved.

A world united is better than a world divided, but a world divided is better than a world destroyed.
Winston Churchill

We sit in calm, airy, silent rooms opening upon sunlit and embowered lawns, not a sound except of summer and of husbandry disturbs the peace but seven million men, any ten thousand of whom could have annihilated the ancient armies, are in ceaseless battle from the Alps to the Ocean.
