Image
He [President Franklin D. Roosevelt] died in harness, and we may well say in battle harness, like his soldiers, sailors and airmen who died side by side with ours and carrying out their tasks to the end all over the world. What an enviable death was his.
Winston Churchill
Image
The dictator, in all his pride, is held in the grip of his party machine. He can go forward he cannot go back. He must blood his hounds and show them sport, or else, like Actaeon of old, be devoured by them. All-strong without, he is all-weak within.
Winston Churchill
Image

I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this government: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
Winston Churchill
Image
Let the children have their night of fun and laughter, let the gifts of Father Christmas delight their play. Let us grown-ups share to the full in their unstinted pleasures.
Winston Churchill
Image
We shall not fail or falter we shall not weaken or tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle, nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools and we will finish the job.
Winston Churchill
Image
Give me the facts, and I will twist them the way I want, to suit my argument.
Winston Churchill
Image
I want no criticism of America at my table. The Americans criticize themselves more than enough.
Winston Churchill
Image
I liked wine, both red and white, and especially Champagne and on very special occasions I could even drink a small glass of brandy.
Winston Churchill
Image
Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
Winston Churchill

No one should waste a day.
