A man who gets the reputation of rising at dawn can sleep to noon.
Winston Churchill
Never give in, never give in, never give in.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
This is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure.

Winston Churchill
I am convinced that there is no smarter, handier, or more adaptable body of troops in the world.
Winston Churchill
You may take the most gallant sailor, the most intrepid airman, or the most audacious soldier, put them at a table together- what do you get? The sum of their fears.
Winston Churchill
From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent.
Winston Churchill
Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those others that have been
Winston Churchill
Lenin was sent into Russia by the Germans in the same way that you might send a phial containing a culture of typhoid or cholera to be poured into the water supply of a great city, and it worked with amazing accuracy.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
