Winston Churchill
The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative.
Winston Churchill
A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.
Winston Churchill
The great defence against aerial menace is to attack the enemy's aircraft as near as possible to their point of departure.
