Winston Churchill
Image
We need to be strong in order to avoid war and to win. A politician looks forward only to the next election. A statesman looks forward to the next generation. Any person who is over 30 and is not a conservative, has no brains.
Winston Churchill

Where there is a great deal of free speech there is always a certain amount of foolish speech.
Winston Churchill
Image
When you are on a great horse, you have the best seat you will ever have.
Winston Churchill
