We have not journeyed all this way because we are made of sugar candy.
Winston Churchill

The further back I look, the further forward I can see.
Winston Churchill

The facilities for advanced education must be evened out and multiplied. No one who can take advantage of a higher education should be denied this chance. You cannot conduct a modern community except with an adequate supply of persons upon whose education, whether humane, technical, or scientific, much time and money have been spent.
Winston Churchill

Never, never, never give up.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill

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
True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.
Winston Churchill
Image
The cat does more for the war effort than you do. He acts as a hot-water bottle and saves fuel and power.
Winston Churchill
Image
The game of life does not proceed like a mathematical calculation on the principle that two and two make four. Sometimes they make five, or minus four, and sometimes the blackboard topples over in the middle of the sum and the pedagogue is left with a black eye.
Winston Churchill

A baboon in a forest is a matter of legitimate speculation a baboon in a zoo is an object of public curiosity but a baboon in your wife’s bed is a cause of the gravest concern.
Winston Churchill
Image
The Almighty in His infinite wisdom did not see fit to create Frenchmen in the image of Englishmen.

You don't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer.

I was born under the Blue Ridge, and under that side which is blue in the evening light, in a wild land of game and forest and rushing waters.

There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word, which means more to me than any other. That word is England.
