Winston Churchill
No socialist government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp or violently worded expressions of public discontent. They would have to fall back on some form of Gestapo, no doubt very humanly directed in the first instance.
Winston Churchill
Renown awaits the commander who first restores artillery to its prime importance on the battlefield.
Winston Churchill
Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it.
Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill
If you want to discover new oceans, you must first have the courage to leave shore.
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.
