Tidiness is a virtue, symmetry is often a constituent of beauty.
Winston Churchill
Image
The eagle has ceased to scream, but the parrots will now begin to chatter. The war of the giants is over and the pigmies will now start to squabble.
Winston Churchill
Image
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
Winston Churchill
Image
The most formidable people in the world, and now the most dangerous, people who... lay down the doctrine that every frontier must be the starting out point for invasion.
Winston Churchill
